[urq] Out from winter sleep update

[Ingo Rautenberg]

Thanks to Mr. Bremmer and his relating of a stuck injector and  
echoing similar symptoms apparent engine flooding), I decided to  
replace my fuel distributor with my original.  I had replaced it with  
another when I was trying to diagnose what ultimately came to be an  
intermittent stuck air plate last year.

I'm happy to report that appears to have been the problem.   
Unfortunately, I have a serious problem with the air idle adjustment  
screw.  I've drilled it and it still doesn't want to come out!!  Any  
suggestions?  Alternately, does anyone have a spare good Urq TB  
laying around gathering dust?

TIA

Ingo
