I ran into this on the 1st 2 carbs last night. While tearing down 3 & 4, I found they are all messed up and won't budge, even with an impact driver. They are visibly crusty. Luckily in the one that did come apart I found that my needle is in the correct position. I tore into them because I was running a bit lean, and knew the carbs were gummed up. It sat for about 5 years before I picked it up this spring.
So, in the interest of getting the most out of my Minnesota summer, I stripped and soaked the bodies, installed new jets, cleaned everything up, and the screws will be winters problem.
Thanks for the help.
