Idle adjustment

Been a long time since I dealt w/ carbs. '82 150 strt 6. I need to raise my idle. Can someone show me a pic of the adjustment screw? Thank you.

I've got some vacuum leaks that need to be fixed which is probably part of my idle problem. The screw is the one I thought it was, it's just not going to run right until I chase down these vacuum pblms.

The idle adjustment screw should be very easy to identify. They're generally on the throttle arm itself and physically press against the carb body. The further you turn the screw in, the further it pushes the throttle. Simple idea, simple execution.

But yeah, definitely get your vacuum leaks fixed. That'll make a big difference in more than just your idle.
