Bob:

Yes, it screws in. Crank hoses, in my opinion has little or no effect on
mixture. It should be adjustable, but as Randall said, get the tool and try.
Please note that when you richen the mixture by turning it clock wise, you
will max out and cannot turn it any more. On the other hand, when leaning
out the mixture, there is no "bottoming out", so you will just keep turning
and turning, even thought the needle is not moving any more. I found it best
to start with the needle shoulder flush with the piston. You can do this
with the piston out of the carb chamber.

Hello,
Early Stromberg carburetor (1970 TR6, 175 CD-2, tags missing) has bronze?
slotted fuel bowl plug. Does this plug unscrew CCW? A PO removed crankcase
hoses from these carburetors. If I restore the hoses it will change the
mixture? Is this style carburetor mixture adjustable with the tool? What
would be best carburetor manual Haynes TECHBOOK 10240?

Regards, 
Bob
