OK, I'll try it, but if I turn the mixture screws in 2 turns, they'll be
completely closed! I suspect the motor will just quit. However, I agree
with your assessment that it might be loading up, I've had that problem
on and off forever. The last few months the car has been running the
best since I've owned it (1993-present), so I think it's "close", and it
would be GREAT to get the last few percent.
