The idle speed adjustment screw. On mine, it hangs down in front of the carbs, and on some, it's on the other side of the carbs.Originally posted by Tropic-al View Post

Wow, thanks.
Mine has never had this screw showing like this. It was a pain getting the tank off just to adjust idle.
I'll see what went wrong, fell off, etc., and try to replace one.
Thanks.79 XS1100F.

I believe it's one of those "old style" vs "new style" carbs things. The picture I posted is how all the "new style" carbs look. The older style has the screw on the rear of the carbs, IIRC. Either way, you should be able to use a long flat-bladed screwdriver to spin the adjustment screw with the tank on the bike.Originally posted by Tropic-al View Post1980 XS850SG - Sold

+1 the "old" style carbs have the idle adjust screw on the rear of the carbs, between the airbox and carbs, it also sticks up instead of down. It can be a real pain to reach, use a long flat screw driver as mentioned.1979 xs1100 Special -

Even using a long flat screwdriver its sometimes hard to turn once you get all the fuel lines and the fuel filters in there to block it.Nathan
