Peter,
Does post #44 show all 3 images now?

Yes Duke!

Its all pretty arbitrary, Peter!

Counting turns makes a guestimate sound authoritative every time.

My pic references for a DLX72 do not show the idle screw, but the majority of DLXs used the same screw pitch as pre-'50 Linkerts.

Ideal intuition, and a kiss of luck, to get it just open enough to kick over to a high idle to warm for further tuning, really ain't that hard,... When everything else is in order..

Understanding the actual function, however, still eludes me:

Thanks Tom. That's interesting reading, and I do see your point re understanding the 'how'. Some kinda magic...
