when its just right the idle will be what u want it to be, if its not u will prolly stall out or waste ALOT of gass.

yes there is a correct setting for the idle adjusting screw.. it should not be more than 3 and 1/2 turns unscrewed.. per the honda manual.. it should be set with the service connector jumped and at normal operating temp.. theres a certain rpm it should be at as well.. not sure exactly.. 750 +/- 50 for a manual i think..
