Are the idle mixture screws on the dies of the primary metering block turning them selfs in every time you drive the car?

there are little cork round washers that fit in the hole for the idle mixture screws so they don't get out of adjustment all the time.
They may be missing or dried out.

ok, see, that's what i thought might be the problem, but i haven't had the opertunity to check. although the idle mixture screws did seem very easy to turn. it's only when i REALLY get on it. normal driving is fine though...
