[DML] Re: Cold help -- Bypass & Balancing Screws

["content22207" <brobertson@xxxx>]

Screws fit into tapered recess on upper air assembly. If you're using
automatic idle speed motor, only need to snug male taper on screws
against matching female taper on air assembly.

As David T pointed out, screw closest to air sensor plate is one that
lets air into manual idle circuit. If it's snug, other two (balancing
screws driver and passenger side of U pipes) aren't doing a thing.
Can't remove of course without creating vacuum leak from outside
world. Are sealed with O-rings -- better snug down to avoid vacuum
leak from deteriorated rubber.
