The Idle mixture screw on the EFS-2 is a very sensitive adjustment. If you have it set too rich, you will not see any difference in full lean at idle. When I was running the EFS-2, I also had this phenomena. Once you get the idle mixture needle set ptoperly, you will shut the engine doen by pulling lead at idle. I always adjusted mine while the engine was running, but then I have nerves of steel and am not afraid of being that close to a turning prop. I am sure you have seen photos of me making adjustments behind a running prop. Caution: do not try it unless you too have nerves of steel.
