M35A2 Idle Adjustment

Drove the Deuce today to a meeting, and realized I have to keep the hand
throttle pulled out a lot now in order to keep the engine running. If I drop it
below 1100rpm the engine dies.

What should I look for? This is not a sudden situation, for a long time now, I
had to pull it out a few clicks to keep it at 700, but it looks like it is
getting worse. I just adjusted the idle screw and got it to keep running at
950rpm, but if I back out even a hair, the engine stops. It doesn't stop as
fast as when the kill engine cable is pulled, but more like it slows down pretty
fast.

I kept reading in the past about that "Center Screw" on the injection pump,
should I try adjusting it? Which one is it?
