Hi guys,
I'm not trying to start a pi**in contest or trying to be top dog. I'm just interested in helping a guy get going. The way I was tought and the way it is illustrated in my MB training manual is to set the long screw to whatever specs are with vacuum disconnected. I will have to look it up down at the shop. Let's assume 1800, but I think that's too high. Reconnect vacuum and adjust the big nut until the spring keeps the screw about 1 mm away from contact. Then lock down the jam nut. The dash pot is not used to adjust idle. Idle is set with appropriate idle screws on whichever carb you are working on. Once idle is set, you adjust the dashpot. Rob pretty much has it right.
