Were you ajusting the servo pressure screw, or max fuel rate screw?

There a several great threads on adjusting fuel here on SS.

You'll need to replace the FDC with a take off unit. Been there, done that. Not a good feeling when that bolt snaps! That is why two wrenches are CRITICAL when adjusting the fuel delivery.

If you don't have a 1/2" wrench thin enough, get out the grinder...

As for removing the FDC, 4 bolts and some fuel line if the fdc isn't bypassed and it comes right off. Replacement is the reverse of removal.
