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.
