Choked B

3rd line B is not wanting to play...it sounds choked, especially when going up the scale, down the scale not so much. I have checked screws and everything. This clarinet was recently serviced (1950s wooden Bundy) about a month ago. It is still sticky from the repadding, new cork,etc. I have tried to get all of it off...no pads appear to be sticking or anything. It was completely overhauled pretty much. I can't figure out the deal. There is this one screw that looks like it needs tightened, but it really is as tight as it will go

Any suggestions? Symphonic band starts tomorrow, and I really don't want to show up with my plastic clarinet (although it does play well for plastic) and look silly. There's no ban on plastic instruments or anything. lol
