are you speaking of the idle adjusting screws that have tapered seats and are located at the bottom of the bowls???.

Em, the two you're referring to are Idle Mixture Screws, used to adjust the Fuel/Air Ratio at idle. If everything's right those can be adjusted to the mid-point between the lean rpm decrease point and the rich rpm decrease point, or even better adjusted for max vacuum. The one's Charlie is talking about are the ones you & I traced in the manual for normal idle speed and the fast idle speed with choke engaged, the one that rides the cam hooked to the choke plate by linkage.

Enjoy the little things in life, and you may look back one day and realize that they were really the BIG things.

NO! those are the idle mixture screws. The "main idle" is on the drivers side and the choke idle is behind your electric choke. The choke idle sets the fast idle speed. Originally Posted by MelloYello
