It runs like a champ, but the screw is loosening as I drive. Any suggestions? | | | | | Joined: Jan 2001 Posts: 5,320 'Bolter | | 'Bolter Joined: Jan 2001 Posts: 5,320 | Are you talking about the Idle screw not the mixture screw?
If it is the idle screw, take the screw out and bend the two flat parts the screw pushes between closer together slightly, to put more drag on the screw.
