Idle adjustment screw

Can someone give me a picture of the idle screw from a stock 85 gs. I was hoping I can reach it without removing anything, is this possible? I have searched the forums, but all the pictures I come across that are for this will not load...

The idle speed screw is on the driver's side of the carburetor, just below/behind the throttle opening solenoid/valve.

Thanks, pretty sure I had the right one, but I definitely did not want to play with the mixture by accident.

Just turn them clockwise simultaneously until it starts to stumble then back mixture off a 1/4 turn. Do this until your around 800 RPM. If it wont hold smoothly that low you have a vacuum leak.
