Carb Idle Adjustment

A buddy of mine just dropped off his '04 Fatboy carb bike and wants me to adjust his idle speed.

How do you adjust the idle speed on the carb bikes?

I'm an EFI guy, and most people I know have EFI...........so these carb things have me at a loss.

Thanks for any help

screw on the right side of the carb, near the throttle cables.... R is higher, L is lower

Only do the adjustment after the bike is fully warm and enricher is closed....
