How do you adjust the idle stop screw?
The first thing to do is not set up the idle speed, but to set the Idle mixture screw to lean best idle setting. First, turn in the mixture screw until the engine dies or runs worse, then back out the screw (recommend turning ¼ to ½ turn at a time). The engine should pick up speed and begin to smooth out.
What does the idle screw do?

How do you set an optimized engine idle?
Begin by adjusting the driver side idle mixture screw in (clockwise) approximately 1/8th of a turn while monitoring the vacuum gauge. If the engine vacuum and/or engine speed increases, then adjust the passenger side idle mixture screw the same amount and monitor the vacuum reading. Repeat this process and evaluate the result.
Where are the idle metering adjustment screws located?
The idle metering adjustment screws (arrow 2) are located on the primary metering block on most Holley carburetors. A typical starting location for these idle mixture screws is between 1 and 1 ½ turns out from fully seated. We’ve found that sneaking up on the adjustment with very small steps toward the final adjustment is beneficial.
