to adjust the idle screws or pilot screws for my 84 700 the base is two turns out. the repair book (I would recomend you get one if you don't have one) warns about damage to the pilot screw if it is tightened against the seat so be carful and good luck. this is not a hard job in my opinion. I have only owned my bike for 1 year now and it is my first. but I have done a lot of work to her. so far I have put on nearly 5K miles and am a dialy rider in the pac. n.w.
remember to have fun doing this repair.
