LOL! ;-)
Redline-Weber's instructions are meant to get you to a baseline with the
idle mixture screws, you can than set the idle spee screw where ever you
want it. As a check, you may want to take tit to a shop that can check the
exhaust CO readings.

Don't worry about it, if that was true then running the engine
at partial throttle in traffic would do it too - after all, the screw
is doing the same thing you do with the gas pedal.

Re: Weber Carb Revisited
The screw was not more than 1.75 to2 turns in from the contact with the
stop lever. Meaning only an extra 1/4 to 1/2 turn was added from the initial
setup.
