Default Mysterious Carb Screw '93 883 sportster

Hey guys, theres a screw on the underside of my carburetor towards the output side of the carb. My book doesnt show an adj. It appears to be one of those turn all the way in then turn out such and such amount of turns. Again my clymer book fails me. I took it out and put it back in during a rebuild. Just need the initial because im going to try cranking the engine for the first time...

THANKS!

idle mixture turn in till it seats and out 2 1/2 turns should be good starting point for tuning, controls idle mixture to slightly rich or lean, fiddle with it until it idles strong and doesnt smoke or stumble when you gun it or when its revving down
