Sledge,
The screws have an interference fit...Someone on the FE forum mentioned they are peened (not sure what that means). I assume so they don't vibrate loose and get sucked in and processed through the combustion magic. Only loosen maybe 1/4 turn, set idle adjustment as low as it will go. Tighten and readjust the idle position screw. I was getting a weird hang up with the engine running, but with the engine off no hang up. Maybe vacuum was pulling the butterfly plates closed where the friction occurred. I hope it helps you.

John
