Busted! I actually needed enough room just for about an eighth of a turn which
I accomplished with the engine off and the throttle full open. I had previously
tried to adjusted the bypass valves with a $1.25 screwdriver from my friendly
Ace Hardware store. I heated the tip and bent it a a right angle allowing me
almost three quarters of a turn with the engine idling so I felt I was close to
having it right. Your "bent nail" tip on an earlier post was my motivation
there and I thank you.

Rick:
While that allows you access, you really need to be able to adjust the
valve when the car is idling (when does the idle speed begin to increase? Hard
to tell with the throttle wide open.) I suppose with patience this approach
will work (blip, adjust, idle. blip, adjust, idle, etc), but I don't have the
patience.
This is what getting old does to you.
Thanks,

While having the same struggle as you've described with my rebuilt ZS's, I was
informed that the rear carb's bypass valve can easily be adusted by simply
pulling the throttle linkage to full open thereby exposing the
adjustment screw to a small screwdriver. I had already explored the depth and
breadth of my expletive vocabulary with no particular success!
