44 special Carb Adjustment

Everyone,

My son and I are working on a 44 special that has very few hours on but sat for 30 + Years. We go it running and it ran ok, then after parking this winter, it ran really ruff. Pulled carb and going to rebuild it, have a kit ordered, and will sandblast it to clean out all rust and build up. Fluid tank is full of gunk as well so we will clean that too.

Question is how do we adjust it or what adjustments need to be made to get this close to firing up when done.

We are putting a 3 point on and hoping to plow next week with it, to find oil leaks and issues before restoring it.

A long shot, but make sure there are no cracks in the intake manifold,the design has
some tendency to Crack where the intake runners merge into the Centre of the
manifold. Even a small Crack, which usually occurs on the inner side of the manifold
can lead to a vacuum leak and rough running. Don,t you just love the sound of those
old Masseys! Ben
