How about backfiring when trying to start? I tried starting with the fuel off, turned the fuel back on, never started again. Poured stale gasoline and don’t have a baseline idle adjustment screw turn and having to start over except occasionally backfired when screw turned in about +6.
dannoxyz having me flush the tank and begin with new fresh gas and pea cleaner this weekend.

For the idle adjustment screw? No. However, the fuel/air (pilot) screw is on each carb and it has a base setting. That's really what you should be dealing with at this point of the process. In the sticky section of this forum is a service manual in pdf format. I would download that and give section 5 a read. It might help to clear some things up for you.

Well the story is, synchronized the carburetor and pilot screws. Attempted to start with the fuel switch off. Never started again. Periodo.
Haven’t used fuel stabilizer in the tank or spare 1.5gal just PEA fuel system cleaner. I poured some PEA in each unfortunately the amount not measured. I decided to add more fuel from the 1.5gal that had been in the back window of my car for two weeks in the sun. I began to adjust the idle screw without documenting where the idle screw was trying to get to start to rich the mixture and has never started again. I emptied about half of the bad gas and put in new gas. Fouled the plugs.
New plan to empty, fill with half bottle of acetone, swish around, pour out and put in new gas with PEA fuel cleaner probably Lucas fuel system cleaner. What a mess. (However did find out since don’t have a owners manual, had been measuring the oil incorrectly not checking on top of the threads though screwing the dipstick back in!!! Omg 😱 catastrophe. 1 qt low.
