Fuel/air mixture screw

Post by Mjfire1949 »

My '52 M38 has a recently rebuilt YS637 carburetor installed. Twice now, the fuel/air mixture screw has vibrated completely out. Luckily I have found it on the garage floor both times. Any suggestions on how to remedy this problem.

Or use a heavier tension spring. Or drill the head and lock wire (safety wire) it.
