It can't suck air around the adjustment screw, just liquid fuel standing in the bowl above it that is leaking. There is either an oring or a packing around the screw. If tightening the gland nut doesn't stop the leak, take the screw and nut out, see what is there. If an oring, replace it. If a packing roll up a piece of teflon tape and wrap it around the screw, add to the packing, don't remove it. The oring/packing not only seals the fuel, it restricts the movement of the screw so it will stay where you leave it. Once you get the leak stopped, set the screw at about 2 turns off the seat. That should make it run.If not, before trying to adjust it further, check the points gap. Closed points, weak spark will give the same symptoms.
Once the spark quality is good, (jump 1/4" to ground from the plug end to ground of each plug wire), then adjust the main jet.
To adjust it, with engine at warm idle, suddenly open the throttle, listen to the response, if it hesitates open the main some. Fine tune it so it will take sudden throttle without hesitation. A single puff of black smoke is good.
If it still will not adjust, continues to not take throttle, something is still clogged in the carb, the float is too low, or lack of fuel to the carb.
