How do you adjust the idle on a 2 barrel Rochester carb?

To adjust the idle on a 2-barrel Rochester carburetor, first ensure the engine is warm and idling.

Adjust each screw slowly, listening for the smoothest idle and optimal RPM. Finally, set the idle speed using the throttle stop screw to achieve the desired idle RPM.
