Practice question

- The throttle stop screw physically sets the minimum height of the throttle slide, while the pilot screw adjusts the air-fuel ratio at that idle position.
- The throttle stop screw adjusts the float height, while the pilot screw controls the main jet.
- The throttle stop screw regulates the fuel pressure, while the pilot screw controls the air intake filter.
- They are identical in function, with one serving as a safety backup for the other.
