Maybe I just don't understand what you're saying, or maybe you're talking about a carb with which I am not familiar, but if you're talking about the run of the mill Stromberg found on C75/85/90's then the only mixture screw is the low speed adjustment which should have NO affect on high power operations. If it does, then there's something really wrong with your carb. Once the throttle plate is more than just a little open, there's no real pressure difference across the low speed ports, and thus no significant fuel flow is expected. Could be that by opening the screw an excessive amount, you've somehow added some fuel, which would indicate there's a problem with the main jet circuit. Over about 1200 RPM the engine should run completely on the (fixed, unadjustable) main jet. Sounds like it's time to bite the bullet and send it to someone who really knows Strombergs.
