What do you mean by "adjusting the idle screws"? The 3 brass screws
are supposed to be lightly closed period. Any other position means
something either isn't set-up correctly or something is
malfunctioning. If you have a hard hot start the most obvious places
to start is the fuel accumulater and the fuel pump check valve. Make
sure there are no vacuum leaks as that can affect idle quality.
