Having refurbished a number of these I can vouch for this  problem. The 
clearance between the service screw and the thermo/fuel valve thing  is tight 
and 
if the float bowl rocks in the rubber mount it can rub. These days  Nissan 
would be recalling these cars to fix the problem. This could account for  who 
so 
many of the service screws are missing. Next time I do a batch of 2000  carbs 
I'm going to look real hard at that area and see if I can come up with a  fix 
that I like.

Unfortunately the only ticket I received in my 68 2000 was for a  stuck
throttle when the maintenance screw caught on the gasket in the  fuel
pressure regulator.  I went into third gear at near full throttle  and right
into a radar trap.  Because I managed to release the stuck  throttle before I
stopped neither the officer or the judge would believe  me.  Be sure you
check the clearance between the head of the  maintenance screw and the fuel
pressure regulator when you are finished  balancing your SU carbs.
