Over rich mixture

My 1936 1 suffers from over rich mixture. The air regulator screw has no effect. Any ideas?

Over rich mixture

Not something I've experienced on my10, but on some cars a fault or poor adjustment in the float chamber/needle valve setup can cause too high a fuel level, which can create over fuelling.

Over rich mixture

Thanks for your reply.
I found the problem.
The top bolt holding the choke cover to the carb had at sometime been replaced by one which was too long, extending past,and therefor blocking, the air inlet hole to the mixture control. A hacksaw solved the problem. Now running sweetly.
