    4 corner idle system
    « on: May 27, 2013 - 01:08:19 AM »
    on my 850 Holley DP, the four corner idle adjust screws seem to have backed out a turn or two on their own!
    Is this common,and how do you prevent it?
    Thanks

    over time the cork gasket around the screw will dry out & the screws can become loose , the fix is new cork gaskets

    I usually just push them into the metering block body dry & push/thread the screw into them , lubing them coul drecreate the problem of them moving .
