I'm curious as to why it has late (tamper resistant) mixture screws. Is this by chance a rebuilt? Thanks, Bob.

 

According to where I purchased it's never been touched, what makes them tamper proof?

 

I just looked at 3 used carbs 9253, and all three had same screws

 

If you will notice, your carb has tapered "pilots" on the end of the mixture screws. This was used to facilitate the installation of "tamper resistant" plastic caps on later model carburetors. I worked for an Olds dealer in the early '70s and we would pop the caps off when a customer complained of a rough idle, adjust the carb, then put them back on. Below are pics of a 7040253 that I sold some time back and a 7040250 that Sparky rebuilt for one of my customers, which have the older flat tip on the screws.

 

Thanx for the clarity as I'm not a carb guru lol.

 

That IS a great price! GLWS

 

one last time then on the shelf
