Carburetor adjustments are not for the weak of heart. Carbs are very sensitive to minute changes in their settings. If you haven't done this before, I'd recommend that you get someone with lots of carb experience to sort it out. If you make a tiny adjustment, you may never get it back to its 'normal' setting without some hard work. Are you trying to set the idle or maybe sort out a sluggish acceleration issue? It would be best to rule out all other possible causes for whatever problem you're experiencing before getting into carburetor adjustments.

Sorry, but I don't know what you are trying to adjust, or why. Emissions controls are active here, and too much futzing with adjustments can cause more trouble than you could imagine.
Even if I knew what you were trying to do, trying to describe to you what you should do, and how it should feel (too tight, too loose) would be tantamount to trying to describe the taste of a banana in detail.

the setting is done by using the lean drop method,,this is simply put ,,a way to get the best running condition you can get from it by setting it high,to get a smooth run,,then start dropping the idle screw on it till it reaches a low enough RPM so that it runs good enough to idle good,,if you can find a Haynes repair manual ,,they explain this method in there book,,this is the best Way to achieve the best fuel economy,,also the best running condition,,and it will also run really clean this way,,i hope this helps,,i own a repair shop in Tennessee,,and have done a lot of them that way,,all with good results,i hope this help,s.
