Easy is right.....

The proper procedure...(I assumed you had researched it thoroughly) is to turn the screw all the way in until flush, and back it out two and a half turns.

Then balance adjust the idle back to where it was originally. Play it by ear as best as you can without hooking up a tach.

You think I should put some washers in to add a little space but not as much as the original spacer. What does that actually do. I do like the fact that it seems to run better with out the spacer but the backfire can definitely be annoying.
It's been found that some of these, require a little bit of tension to work better. Hence, the little bit of spacer. As opposed to removing the entire thing.
