Ah come on Denis. My idle adjustment screws on my 2100 are at least a full turn apart and my engine runs like a banshee indian.

 

If the float is sticking, it will flood out and gas will be evident on top of the intake. If the needle has any trash in it, the car won't run at all.
On edit: I see that Pony is saying the float is sinking and could cause the problem. If the float is sinking, it has a hole in it and will not allow any gas into the carb bowl. If that is the case, then take the carb apart and shake the float. You will hear it if the float is full of gas.

 

whats a booster? and surging?

The booster is the large, round, canister shaped part that is behind the brake master cylinder. It has a vacuum hose routed to it. Surging is when the idle speeds up and then drops, the speeds up and then drops.

Start with the easy stuff.Change your fuel filter.Change your vac lines too.I dont think its your idle adj screws because the car was running fine before.
