Hey guys,
So I finally got my old 1964 Ford 2000 up and running. Had a problem with it surging pretty bad once it was in gear and moving. I tried to adjust the carb but still had the same issue. So pulled the carb and gave it a really good cleaning thinking it might be a fuel issue. Same problem. Could this be a governor issue? If so, how is that diagnosed/fixed? Also, I'm having trouble figuring out which needle is which on my carb. I have a big thumb screw in the front, than a smaller flat head screw in the side just behind the thumb screw. My parts diagram only shows the thumb screw. Which is which?
