Step 2: (Step 1 says warm up the engine)
"Screw in the idle jets so that the needles that are controlled by the
stepper motor move"
I simply leaned the mixture until the RPMs dropped, and enrichened it 1/4
turn.

Re: "nutter" Question - Again
Yes you have to cut open the idle screws and adjust the mix manually
with the stepper pins all the way in or full rich. The stepper pins are
air input, not fuel.
You can use the sol-vac as an electric fast idle for winching or
boosting by adding a toggle switch and power to it, otherwise it is a
paperweight.
I was off Jeeping for a while, put over 3000 miles on the old CJ7.
Photos will follow in a new thread.

I have never done it, but in my opinion it only makes sense for the
pins to be in the middle position, as described in the TSB on
adjusting the idle mixture screws:

You are correct if you want the computer to fine tun the mix, otherwise,
those 2 air needles need to be shut off to get a stable idle.
The stepper and it's pins are an add on to the carb. The pre-82 BBD
carbs didn't have it. They adjust the air mix once the base fuel mix is
set.
To get the best performance out of the BBD, these air tubes need to be
closed so the fuel mix jets can accurately set the mix.
The 'Nutter' covers this by saying to turn the mix screws lean until the
stepper pushes the pins all the way in to full rich or no extra air.
If the stepper isn't working right because you have a dead sensor or O2
sensor, then you can manually pull the pins al the way in. They are
tight because they work on a 'stepper' motor that clicks steps, they
don't pull in smoothly.
