So then explain to me how adjusting the idle mixture screws will make an engine run lean or rich, if they aren't adjusted properly? I had a lean condition and did nothing but tune it with the vacuum gauge and adjusting the idle mixture screws and the problem was solved. I'll agree that a no load situation won't feel different, but you can sure tell under load of your lean or fat on your mixture.

I apologize if I don't understand the problem. I was simply trying to give a suggestion based on personal experience.
