See your throttle cable? Cable is attached to the carburator via the throttle rotor (I don't know the proper name, I call it a throttle rotor).
Step on the gas pedal, throttle rotor moves butterfly open and closed..
Open the throttle, then close it. When you close it, you'll see that it stops on a little square piece of metal with a screw in it.
That screw is how you adjust your idle.

Sorry for the seemingly redundant instructions, I didn't know how else to explain it.

I know this is an old thread, but isn't that just the curb idle adjustment? Shouldn't there be an actual idle adjust screw? I'm lost when it comes to my carb right now. I have two separate shop manuals, and they shed little light. I can't set the timing because I can't set my idle
