Make sense?

Lastly going back to the carb adjustment - might want to up the fast idle screw. Could keep it idling vs dying.
Now my starter pinion is not disengaging from the flywheel and it won't crank over. Seems like it's under to much weight. I keep adding shims and this hasn't helped with the clearance. I've used as much as 1/16" + (2) 1/32" shims and no luck.. Man this is starting to get frustrating. I'm on the goaline and can't punch her in.
