But you control the idle by the idle adjustment screw initially. Your comment implied that idle is controlled solely by timing - which it is not. Once the timing is set, you adjust the idle via the idle adjustment screw. After that, the idle stabilizer kicks in. So assuming the idle is properly set, the idle stabilizer will have little work to do.

The point of my reply was to ensure folks did not think you just set the timing and walk away. Adjusting the idle manually must be performed as well.
