FWIW, the pot adjustment was made by sliding the full assembly up / down from the far right.
What does the itty bitty adjustment towards the center actually adjust ?
If you unplug your air idle control valve the revs should be about 1200 to 1500 rpm - do you still get that after your resistor modification?

As for the little adjustment thing in the centre of the potentiometer that's the fine tuning. "Everyone" says don't touch it.
