Thanks... I just checked and in fact there is about 1/3 inch slack before the cable even moves the slide! Removing the adjustment screw did not change that, so the slide appears to be bottomed out WITH or WITHOUT the adjustment screw all the way in!

I need to pull the slide and verify that the place where the pin engages is not damaged. The pin does not seem to do anything to slide height.

I think MegaDan is implying that the screw all the way tightened has not adjustment in that position, which is true! But the idle is NOT elevated at all. On my "Youall" PZ30 carb, I can set the slide height screw to 1500rpm idle! Maybe more. I always twist the throttle when I screw it in, so it isn't grinding the beveled surface it pushes. Then I let it go and back off the screw to desired setting.
