Re: Idle screw (dealer wants $15 !!!)

[raf40@oes.amdahl.com (Richard Funnell)]

On my urQ, the idle screw has a head small enough to fit within the
threaded hole.  The other end is specially shaped, I believe, and it is
grooved for a rubber O-ring.  In short, you can't replace it from the
hardware store.  A junk yard would be a good bet, however.  I would suggest
making sure the O-ring is snug to avoid having this happen again.
