Default Adjusting idle on BBK Throttle Body

OK, i recently installed a BBK 70mm TB on my Teg. at first, my idle was really high. the guy who helped me with the head swap lowered it somehow (i have my boy telling him to call me tomorrow). Now, my idle is low. like 300rpm low. and most of the time when i brake and come to a stop, my car dies out on me. I'm really wearing out the starter here. I have looked for the idle set screw on the TB and found nothing. does anyone know where it might be???
also i just talked to my boy and he said it should be under the throttle dial itself. i looked all around there and there is a small cube with a hole in it going vertical, looks like it has threads in it. could the screw have been here???
any input is needed. thank you

Ok, look where the throttle cable is on the TB. Now just feel or look below that. You should see the screw to adjust the idle. Hope that helps man....good luck.

Damn just read your entire post...you're looking in the correct spot. Seems like the screw is missing...should be an easy fix.

Just try some screws till you find one that works...easiest thing I know to do.

i'd rather not take the chance of stripping it out. i know that these aftermarket parts have tendencies to do that
