Heres where we drill

new idle adjuster screw, will go in the casting here. Gonna have a friend do it at his machine shop, read to many stories about free hand drillling and excessive air leaks that way.

Decided for time being will just clean this one up, readjust all settings, and run it this way, till more money for new carb is handy. TORS is gone. junked it.

I don't think that will work- doesn't it have to be on a upward angle to adjust the slide? Maybe i'm missing something?

the slide has an arch in it, where this goes in it will be below arch slightly at full closed slide. SO screwing it in will hold slide up, or where you want the idle at, based on slide being lifted(prevented from closing) slightly off full closed position

I drilled and tapped myself, got the moose carb cap kit - comes with everything you need. It's really not that hard, just requires patients. You're going to need to file that down, if you haven't already, to be completely level too.

The screw is tapered to a point at the end where it goes under the slide, so the further you screw it in the more it lifts the slide!

It just looks like that spot will be hitting the slide not raising it??

Looks that way, but the centre of the screw pokes through just under the slide, and only raises it about 1/16th max.

Damn dude, you need a new slide, yours is beat!!

Okay then, proceed!
