  • thumb screw on carb rail

    Is the "thumb screw" on the carb rail supposed to be for a throttle stop or idle adjustment? It looks on mine like the linkage is bent and the "thumb screw" doesn't make contact with anything.

    If it what I think you are talking about, it is the idle adjustment.
