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 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
