I took a good look at the carb last night and I dont see any air/fuel mixture screws. The only adjustment I see is the slow speed mixture knob on the front of the motor. Also where do I adjust my idle? Mine seems a little high. I have a manual ordered but havent recieved it yet.

The high speed jet may be fixed.

I has a slow speed mixture needle that is operated by the knob on the front.
See Joe Reeves' instructions on the Engine FAQs board for adjusting the needle valve.

It does not have a high speed mixture adjustment. It has a fixed jet.

The idle speed adjustment screw is #84 in This diagram

Thank you very much.
