ok.. i got the 5 degrees pick up.that i have been after!and is required in the manual.in gear and just above not stalling. . how ever the time lever is straight up! which means the idle adjusting screw is not against the block like one would think it should be so i can adjust the idle! rt now the screw is just doing nothing since it doesnt touch anything,, now ,,i figure i could do a few things .<br />#1> i could perhaps adjust the idle with the throttle cable wheel..?and for get the idle screw?.<br />#2 get a longer screw so it will reach the block?<br />what do ya think thanks dz ..=]
