New purchase red '84 200 Big Red. I Bought it not running as it needed a battery and the fuel mixture screw that is missing and two flat tires. My question to the panel of experts is I have a new screw a spring ,washer ,and O ring. Should I now remove the carb to see whats parts are MISSING or do I just crank a new screw washers and O ring in there and see what happens? Thanks in advance. My 50 year old fingers aren't as nimble as they used to be!

And oh just for an update I figured it out. When going to put the new mixture screw in there was something in the way. My First thought was OH NO its silicone. but after further looking it was a sheet metal screw with some kind of plastic around it. So anyway I got it out, I put in the CORRECT screw and now it runs PERFECT, I said PERFECT!
