The 2023 Highlands Motoring Festival is almost upon us, with the main event on Saturday, June 10, 2023. There will be several rare prewar Packards along with many other prewar European makes. BMW is the featured marque this year, but there will be a diverse American and European field.

It seems that mixture screws in some carburetors only have a slight effect on the engine; however, the T mixture screw in the Detroit Lubricator Model 51 can really affect how well the engine runs- seems to have a significant impact.

Now running smoothly after valve adjustment- ready to hit the road for test drive. Take a look:

Thanks @Greenfield.
Regarding the valve stem clearance issue- After much research and speaking with several valve manufacturers and old school machinists, we decided to just go with the standard .340 diameter intake and exhaust valves from Max Merritt without changing the valve guides. That gave the valves a few extra thousands clearance, which we reasoned was a good thing in the end, since I was having the common problem of sticky valves. There didn’t seem to be too much play with the .340 valves and old guides.

I second the suggestion of calling Scott Henningsen. at pac-carbs.com in Salinas, CA. He recently completely rebuilt my DL 51. He also commented that it is quite common to see these carbs modified over the years. Mine was a hodgepodge mixture of Cadillac and Packard DL51 parts. If your mixture T screw has been messed with, there may be other alterations as well.
Can you post a photo of your carb?
