Subject:      Throttle valve switch, checking/adjusting

Howdy,
I hope everyone is having a great Saturday either driving, camping or tinkering with their beloved Vanagons. I, however, am having a bit of a delimma. I posted earlier in the week about getting back from an 800 plus mile trip to Oregon last weekend and that after the trip I was experiencing a surging idle at low RPM's. This is after the engine warms up. So I'm checking out the throttle valve switch doing the tests described on page 24.35 of the Bentley. I have the single switch obviously. What isn't getting through my thick skull is the feeler gauge adjustment screw stuff. By loosening screw 2 and adjusting screw 3 I see no movement between the idle stop and the idle adjusing screw. I can turn it both ways to the max and see no gap closing or opening. I'm obviously missing something here. Any insight would be greatly appreciated.
Thanx,
Paul Rogers
