Re: [T3] cold start behavior

Stick it in near boiling water - it should be closed by then, and you could see
if it does what you expect.  Mine was well caked with oil grime, but I believe I
did adjust it a fraction at the time.  It can't hurt much - just not work as
well as it should, meaning you get to pull it out again and readjust it.
