Bob,
If you have a Bentley Manual it is shown on page 198. Idle is at 800 -
850 r.p.m. It is on the rear side of the carb and toward the engine.
It adjusts the bracket that is attached to the return spring. Hope this
helps. Turn the screw clockwise to increase the r.p.m. (Also shown on
pages 103 - 105 of the Haynes Manual #113.)
