Yes, I've adjusted the valves to 0.019 hot, they were very close after the cold prelim setting of 0.018, only had to adjust a thousand or 2 and a few valves.

And yes, I did start the carb screws at 1 1/2. The problem now is turning them does not have any effect on the vacuum or how the engine is running. I can even turn them all the way in and the engine will keep running.

I have not found any intake/vacuum leaks so I'm guessing something is still wrong with the carb and I'm working on finding a replacement.

In any case, it is running well enough to drive now.
