if i take out the fuel screw to take off the steel collar will it leak fuel and cause me to have to bleed inj.? i was going to turn it about 2 turns.

Shouldn't have a problem.

Remember to have a sturdy 2X4 ready, in case it runs away.

I had no issue's with mine, on my brothers truck it kinda acted up the next day, but nothing major and the air worked itself out.

Yes I've heard about runaway will have 2x6 handy!!!!! Thanks guys I just turned smoke screw 3 turns,star wheel all the way down,fuel pin to deepest setting really helped. Have not turned fuel screw yet but was thinking about 2 turns. I should be safe from runaway with that RIGHT!!!! Will have board handy thought. How much can you get out of it with the collar still on the fuel screw? Was thinking of turning it in to collar and see what i got out of it.

you dont have to worry about runaway until you mess with the fuel screw. and if the collar is still on it, i HIGHLY doubt you have anything to worry about, but having the 2.6 ready is a good idea regardless. fwiw, when i turned the screw into the collar on my 91, it went a whole 1/2 turn before it bottomed out.
