With it being screwed all the way in, it's just riding the slide as high as it can go all the time.

Your description matches my assumption on how it works. Yes, all the way tight should adjust the slide to highest adjustment/position possible-highest idle speed. But the thing is, the idle is like 700-800rpm, not elevated at all! It doesn't seem to lift the slide. It is freezing cold in the garage this morning. I will take another look this afternoon when it is at least in the 50s!

By contrast, on my storm, I can set the idle to practically 2000 rpm with this slide position adjuster.
