If the lever has been removed from the axle and and all screws etc removed for overhaul, this is of no use. The exact assignment of the lever to the axle on TB and the opening angles of the throttle valve and the injection pump can only be determined using degree disks.

Yes, Sead, but this video is not about that; it's simply to help people understand that the setting screw is not an idle speed screw.
