Default 1932 Detroit Lubricator carburettors.

Is there anybody know anything about the 1932 Detroit carburetors I have rebuilt my 1933 one using the 1932 Ford June, Sept/Oct service Manuals. I have fitted it to the 32 and it will not run unless I pull the choke out about half way, then its roughly, will not idle, I have tried altering the mixture control, no difference, raised the float level too 1 inch, the specifications say 1-3/16 inch which I had set it too, freed up the vanes which would not move freely etc, to the service manuals when I rebuilt it. Fuel pressure from the pump 4-1/2 lbs.
I had to make up some special tools to remove the valves etc.
