- sorry about that throttle bodies on a 2001 Fatboy Harley-Davidson someone adjusted the screw on the throttle body thinking that that's how you adjust the idle a plug covers that screw they pop the plug out and screwed the screw in clockwise to try to adjust the idle what is the adjustment to get it back to its original position

Put down the screwdriver, and make an appointment with your local Harley Davidson dealer or independent Harley mechanic (Indie). At the very least, buy a Harley Davidson Service Manual.

It might be the air/fuel adjustment. Just start the bike and adjust it out until the bike stumbles then back in until you get a good idle. or you can adjust it in until it stumbles and out. either way you want a good steady idle. then take it for a ride you may need to tweak it a little.

So in the future when you post a problem it would be wise to give a lot more info on what your working on.
