I have a 1941 Chris Craft with a 4 cylinder Grey Marine Model 620 [G9014]. We have been having trouble adjusting what we believe to be the fuel mixture from a small T-shaped screw on the carburetor. This screw is very loose, and has been tightening itself from the vibration of the motor. I have purchased a leather washer, which may help control this. Could someone let me know what this screw does, and what the screw with the spring above the T-screw does as well? Are there any other adjustments we should know about? Thank you in advance.

The small T handle which is usually lower on the carb is a high speed adjustment. There is screw up near the throat that adjust the idle mixture.

If you can't keep it from moveing by tighting the the jam nut, you can add a spring to it.

Thanks. I added a small o-ring to the nut this morning, and was able to adjust and keep the screw tight today. The boat would still run better when pulling the choke out today, so I kept turning the screw counter clockwise until the boat ran well, and I no longer saw a performance gain from pulling the choke.

Google up wisconsin motors and search through models. Go to Continental motors. There is a complete repair manual you can download. (Most 4 and 6 cyl grays are built on a Continental block). The repairn manual includes carb repairs and complete rebbuilds. Great resource.
Try weldmart.com for parts. They have a great selection. I just ordered a complete set of gaskets for a rebuild of a four-85.
