Note the position and turn the idle air adjusting screw slowly counterclockwise until
the idle speed falls.

Adjust to the point between these two positions with the highest idle speed.
Info
If there is a big engine speed rise, reduce the idle speed to a normal level
and repeat the above steps.
If the procedure described here does not lead to satisfactory results, the
cause may be a wrongly dimensioned idling jet.
If you can turn the idle air adjusting screw to the end without any change of
engine speed, you have to mount a smaller idling jet.
After changing the idling jet, start from the beginning with the adjusting
steps.
Following extreme air temperature or altitude changes, adjust the idle speed
again.
