 Re: B not always speaking properly

Brian Seaton's freely downloadable Oboe Adjustment Guide describes the function of each screw.

If you are talking about the screw he designates as "Screw #1", it is the adjustment of the con-bar, the mechanism that springs the B-C and A-Bb pads closed (to play B and A). Note that for dual Thumbplate instruments, you need to adjust it both for the thumbplate play and for the amount of play in the joint as I described before (there needs to be a small gap in both).

Note that if you adjust the gap to be too big you will get a noticeable blip in your playing Bb and C, and if you overadjust even further the pads may not raise high enough and will interfere with the note.
