idle speed screw
hello.. i have an 85 RX-7 GS.. carbed.. and i cant find the idle speed screw.. i can find the idle mixture adjust.. (right in the middle on driver side of the car) and i think the idle speed screw is on the passenger side..
i know the idle speed screw is down low and out of sight.. but does anyone have a good photo? becasue im having a heck of a time finding it
any pictures would be awesome..
thanks again..

If I understand the manual correctly, I think it's the screw with the orange paint on it in the attached photo. By the way, I've cleaned this carb since the picture was taken ;-)

... The manual shows my car with 2 screws one on top of each other.... Well my cars not like that lol its the same thing strife is talking about to adjust the idle ive alway adjusted it on the throttle cable
The throttle cable is supposed to have some slack in it. The carb pictured is a '79-'80 type. The '81-'85 type has a single air/fuel mixture screw in the middle and a different type of idle adjust screw over by the linkage.
Here is a picture of a '79-'80 carb throttle body. The idle adjust screw is at the bottom center of the picture. https://www.rx7club.com/forum/attach...chmentid=84145
