Idle Adjustment - Gen 1

Hi folks,
I own a 1985 1.1 Carburated model. I am struggling to figure out how to bump up the idle a little. It mostly rins OK, but when the AC is on, it will stall when sitting at idle.
I can't seem to locate the adjustment mechanism. I assume that it is a screw adjustment similar to any other carb, but I have found over the last several years, that most of my assumptions about the 7 are incorrect.

Thanks
Kirk

There are links to the factory service manuals in the FAQ, which should answer most of your questions about the carb adjustments.

I believe that the screw has a cap on it. It is kinda hard to see and is almost at the bottom of the carb I have a stock carb removed that i could take a pic of if it would be easier for you to find.
