No. When the throttle plate was moved, the injection pump, via the linkage, was also moved to deliver more fuel, i.e., a richer mixture. The engine was stalling because the mixture was a bit lean. After the adjustments the same amount of air was entering the engine as before, but more fuel!
After adjusting the stop screw, I had to lower the idle speed with the mixture screw.
