Default Is this where the idle screw is?
Hi.

After some other maintenance I've got an unintended high idle speed (about 1100 rpm). So I'd like to turn that back down. I've read some descriptions of where the idle set screw is, but haven't found any pictures or drawings. Is this where that screw hides (red arrow to hole)?

Thanks,

-mB

On second glance maybe that IS it. Hard to tell

Just adding some photos to compliment what Doug has said... It's a little easier to see with the intake off the car...

I believe that to be correct Jose.. 7/32" is indicated in Doug's writeup above.... I just got lucky and grabbed the one that would fit from the allen wrench bin..
