If the normal method of adjusting idle speed on a Spica-injected car
doesn't work (i.e., by squashing the special O-ring), I think it's
better to adjust the short link to achieve the desired idle speed.
This is because the 6mm bolt on the throttle bracket and the engine
move independently due to rubber engine mounts. So tension placed on
the accel. cable will not be consistent and idle speed will vary.
