To set the idle on a 1979 Super Beetle, first ensure the engine is warm and at operating temperature. Locate the idle adjustment screw on the carburetor; turning it clockwise increases the idle speed, while counterclockwise decreases it. Adjust the screw until the engine idles smoothly, typically between 850 to 950 RPM. Lastly, check the timing and make any necessary adjustments for optimal performance.
