I'm 99% sure that I always have mentioned the idle mixture screw. On a Mikuni, the idle speed screw is on the opposite side of the carb. Important to understand the difference between idle mixture and idle speed. The idle speed screw only raises or lowers the slide. The idle mixture screw only controls the fuel mixture at idle.....ARH
