Lemme look for a pic. In the meantime it's on the 'driver's side' of the carb, it looks like a big phillips screw (it's the easy one to get to)

The idle adjust screw on an 85 is on the driverside just infront of the linkages where the accel, cruise, choke cables attach, which is toward the rear of the carb..

The screw closer to the front of the carb. and easier to get to is the mixture adjust screw.

Hope this helps.

You have a massive vacuum leak. Mine was doing the same thing when I took the rat's nest off. . . the wrong way (by just removing ALL the hoses and solenoids)

Stripping the nest would be the best bet
