These caburetors are very sensitive to cold weather and also a bit difficult to get at. Before you decide on adjustment of the AF screw you should know that many bikes of this kind have to be warmed up for several minutes before dricing, and in cold weather you may have to use the choke a bit. On the single carb 750 Shadow, the AF screw is exactly like that of the 1300 model. You need a D-wrench to adjust the screw, a special tool. The AF screw is reached from underneath the carburetor. Turn the screw all the way in, the give it two turns out. If the bike stalls frequently, you may have to re-jet the carburetor which is not easy for a beginner. Be careful, one common problem with unistalling the caburetors of these bikes is that the vacuum hoses may become loose or pulled out of place.
