Do I have a Problem? Carb, That Is!!!

While adjusting the 2100 carb on my '72 302, I noticed, while at 600 rpm, that I could screw the idle adjustment screws all the way in without any noticeable change. So I turned the fast idle adjustment out to the point that the motor was approaching stall speed. I then screwed the idle screws out one full turn. Again no change in idle.

Is there a problem with the carb?

When I got the truck the carb and top of the engine were soaked with gas.

I probably need a new carb.

You can find lots of similar carb problem posts in the carb forum. Otherwise I am sure there are a few carb wizards here.
