Thanks for the reply. Here's a question for you: Are there supposed to be washers on the carb mounting screws? The reason I ask is there weren't any on mine when I found that the screws were bottoming out; if there had been washers I probably wouldn't have had the problem. Actually, I didn't "shorten" the screws to fix the problem, I added washers under the screw heads.
