    4 corner idle screws
    « on: September 26, 2015 - 01:23:24 PM »
    Hi All
    I have a question regarding the four corner idle screws on my Quickfuel BD850. The Quickfuel site says you can keep all four adjusted the same, or...not. Experiment to find what works best.
    What do you guys with four corner idle adjustment do? Keep them all the same or not? Or does it really matter so long as you get it to idle well?

    Dodj, I have used the following video to adjust my Holley 950 cfm. Yours is a QuickFuel, but I think is the same construction. Anyway, all four idle screws need the same adjustment, that's what I saw in my engine with the vacuum gauge...

    it depends if the throttle plates are opened equally , if they are all opened up equally the the idle screws should be close to equal too , if the primary throttle plates are opened more the idle screws will need to be opened a bit more to match the extra airflow

    how radical is your cam, and what is your engine size?
    I could not get a decent idle until I put holes in throttle plates.
    Now the new carbs have an extra adjustment so the holes are not necessary.
    Called the integrated idle bypass adjustment valve I think.
