Bud:
Thanks so much for the writeup. Yes, indeed the head (not the threads) is
stripped. Alas, I've been through the scenarios you detail in my dreams now!
All of what you write is valid and has been performed in extremis on the
car. I am beginning to wonder if I bent the needle, though it does bias
towards the air cleaners as it should, it also leans a little left. Maybe,
between the two carbs, I have a Thatcher/Blair conflaguration...

John,
Setting the carb covers in the correct position should make a difference. I
don't have my ZS book with me but the way the vacuum works in helping to
pull
the air valve up is probably affected by the position of the cover. I've
read
that air valves ARE matched to carbs so that could be a problem also.
First are you sure that the hex head is stripped?
