Pictures of throttle adjustment screw

[MLars]

Does anyone have any pictures of it. My mechanic tried to show me where it was, but I just couldn't see it. He said it was a T handle that could be adjusted by hand. Just wondering invade I need to adjust it at the lake tomorrow. Thanks!

You mean the idle screw? On your gtx, front side of the front carb, there's a square hole in the choke cable bracket, it's inside there at an angle, a long flathead is the best tool for it.

Oh it's on the inside of that square hole? I thought it was underneath. Thanks a lot!

ok here is what you can't see when the carbs are in the ski.

and here is what you're looking for on the side of the carbs that faces the front of the ski. through the little square hole you can see the idle stop screw.

That makes it so much more clear, thanks, I appreciate the help!

Hmm, there doesn't seem to be a screw in mine, and I can't feel it when I stick my finger through the hole
