rotaryaddiction, you might want to add some punctuation to your posts. They're tough to read.

picks didn't help me with my search for the elusive idle adjustment screw. you cant really see it looking down at the carb anyway. what you need is a mirror, a flashlight, and band aids for your knuckles.

Idle speed and idle mix screws. Red one is mixture, yellow one is idle speed. Early models had 2 screws for mixture, one is an air screw and one a fuel screw. This later model carb has only a fuel screw, the air jet is fixed. BTW if your carb doesnt have a mix screw but a funny bullet shaped thingie, then it still has the factory "this is an adjustment you dont need to **** with you yankee devil" tamper proof cover on it. See the Haynes or Mazda shop manual on removal, or just pry it off like I do.

Damn... my school webspace is offline for the summer, or I would have posted a pic from a previous (now dead) thread.

It's a bitch to find if you don't take the air filter bonnet off, so do yourself a favour, and take it off :P
