[DML] Re: My car won't start

["David Teitelbaum" <jtrealty@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

You may have fouled the spark plugs. Did you cover the hole up after
you messed with the mixture screw? If you didn't it would never idle
right. Pull the plugs and clean and regap them. Charge up the battery
and put the mixture screw back where you started. Plug the hole over
it in the housing. This should get you going again. You CANNOT fix the
idle up by adjusting the mixture screw. If the idle is not right then
you usually need to replace ignition parts and/or find and fix vacuum
leaks. Make sure the 3 brass screws are closed too.
