Newby type question

When people talk about the fuel/mixture screw, is this different from the idle screw on the carb? If so where is it? pics work great. Well now you all know just how new I am. N2r :?

Mixture screw is under the carburator, engine side. Right next to the fuel bowl. Gotta get on your hands and knees to see this one. Gonna need a litle bitty screwdriver. Also make sure the exhaust is not hot!! 8O Turn it in all the way and back it out approx 2 1/4 turns and fine tune from there. Out=more fuel. In=less fuel. If it's in too far, the bike will be hard starting and stumble off line. If it's out too far it will just be running rich and impede performance. I prefer to be a little rich than lean.

Sorry, I'm not at my home computer, so I don't have pics to post. If there is not one by tonight, I'll put one up.

Beavis's description is spot on. Go look at your bike, you can't miss it.
