Don't adjust it at all. Do not touch the screw in the end. It begs for problems.

Only on turbo models should it be adjusted, via a simple screw, to alter idle. Even the turbo version should not move the screw in the end of the valve though.

If you have something to say, say it.

Scathart I was making what is commonly called a joke.
Perhaps it was a bad joke, perhaps it just went over your head, either way I meant no offence.

BAC = blood alcohol count.

How do you adjust your blood alcohol count, generally have another drink.

Indeed, it went way over my tiny little head. I thought you were accusing me of being drunk posting that you should not adjust it. It came across as belittling, without offering any other alternative answer.

However, I disagree. It was a good joke to those who got it... I am just not very funny, I guess.

Cheers!
