However: if you have not monkeyed with the wiper/black cog settings, 4 1/2 is likely to be painfully too lean.
That's a good statement that I've not been able to see/hear/find anywhere else. Knowing a
functional limit like this helps me significantly. Kind of like know when I'm sailing off the map altogether.
There is no "typical setting".
Sorry, I should have been clearer. I guess I was expecting to hear a range of final settings based on what you've experienced which I could use as a sanity check to make sure I'm not trying to make adjustments in a region too far outside meaningful/practicable limits. I ask because I've seen air-cooled Vanagon guys say that 2 to 2 1/2 is commonplace for their mixture screws across a variety of vehicles. ,
Idle bypass screw? Did I call something the "idle bypass screw"? I remember an idle speed screw in the throttle body that happens to bypass air around the throttle plate, is that the one you are talking about?
Yes, that's what I'm talking about. I probably could've been clearer by calling it the "idle air bypass screw." I know it's commonly referred to as the "idle speed screw," I've just always thought referring to it as the "idle air bypass screw" is a more accurate way of describing what's really going on inside the throttle body, the speed being a follow-on effect of how much air bypasses the throttle plate.
Some research last night makes it look like I'm missing these on my brake booster line.

If I understand correctly, these go on each end of the one-way valve in the brake booster line and then the hard plastic hose slips over the ends and is clamped in place? Currently, my hose just clamps onto the barbs of one-way valve directly.
