Hello,
I was told in here if I want to lower my idle there is a screw adlustment. The only screw that makes sense is the one with the arrow pointing to it in the photos I attached. With this lower my idel speed?

Thanks,
Tom

Sweeper Force,
I had to figure this one out too. From your phto, if you follow that rod down to where it has a smaller rod attached to the carb cam, there is an adjustment screw with a locking nut to the left of it back against the block. I don't have my manual out or I'd give you the correct name.

DON'T TOUCH THAT SCREW! If you do, you will screw up your timing. As Mark said, follow the timing tower down and about midway you will find a screw with a locknut. The screw itself is pushing against the engine housing and is usually stainless steel with a common slot.

Yep that's it. Don't forget to tighten the nut after you adjust it.
