Loose mixture screw Dellorto 20 13 A carb (Atco Commodore B14)
Hi,
We are at the last stages of restoring a B14 and while assembling the mower and getting it running I found out that the mixture screw is somehow loose and there is no spring to keep it in place. Result: from vibrations of the engine it comes out of the carburettor. From drawings of the car there is no clear indication if there is a spring there at all. The 20 13 carb which I have from a Qualcast CPS35 has a bigger screw with a spring. Could someone tell me that it should have a spring or not??
As a workaround I used 542 to keep it in place at the moment.

No spring per mine. It is likely to be coming loose if the rubber ring on the screw is no longer providing resistance, I think you just need to change that o ring
