Parking a Temma 2 vbscript

I'm writing a script to park my EM200 back to Dec=-90 and RA exist vertical, because the mount has no home position. Normally at the end of a session I just release the clutches and move by hand.

Just want to check my theory. I was thinking it would be as simple as connecting and slewing to Dec=-90 and RA=LST. The script works on the ASCOM simulator in that it connects and skews to Dec=-90, but the RA doesn't slew to LST as RA.

I'll post the script when I get back on computer, but for now just checking not missing something in the theory that RA=LST should give counterweight shaft down position.
