As far as an "Idle adjustment screw"-- remove the filter housing for an easier access, but it's quite visible from the Throttle butterfly side on the Carb--- as far as an "Air Idle-Fuel Mixture" on an '03 XL 883??? Sorry Bud--- there IS NONE-- it's a "Fixed Jet Carburator" and it comes from the factory, with a sealed pug cover, over the adjustment screw, located UNDER the backside of the carb, which unless you're a QUALIFIED Mechanic, or have ALOT of expeience with the H-D carbs now installed at the factory, your best is to leave it alone, and let someone who KNOWS where the plug is actually located,can "DRILL IT OUT" without harming the Air-Idle Screw", and once that's accomplished, you can easily adjust your Carb with a fine screwdriver from underneeth the carb, while it's running. Harley-Davidson, has STRICT Emission regulations, that prohibit the adjustment of that Fuel Mixture Screw, due to E.P.A. Standards--- Hope this helps solve the mystery of "Where's It At" !
Screw it. Let's Ride.

To remove the passenger seat screw on a 2003 Harley Davidson Fat Boy FLSTFI, first, locate the screw at the rear of the passenger seat. Use a Torx wrench (typically a T27) to unscrew it counterclockwise. Once the screw is removed, gently lift the passenger seat to detach it from the bike. Be sure to store the screw in a safe place for reinstallation.
a small screw on the primary at the bottom near the rear. Looks alot like a primary screw.
"Idle" can mean two things: idle speed, and idle mixture. Both of these are on the carburettor. Idle speed is adjusted via a screw that is on the throttle control cam. Turning this screw will change the RPMs of the machine at idle. The idle mixture changes the amount of gas that flows during idling, and can be changed by a screw inside a round recession on the bottom of the carb.
Unscrew the rear chrome screw on top of fender and a screw on left and right side of seat and pull up and back and remove.
there is a Allen screw on the side case fill until it begins to run out.
To adjust a Harley Davidson carburetor, start by ensuring the engine is warmed up and at idle. Adjust the idle speed screw to achieve a smooth idle, then fine-tune the air-fuel mixture screw until you find the optimal balance, typically by turning it clockwise until it lightly seats and then backing it out 1.5 to 2 turns. Finally, test the throttle response and make any necessary adjustments until the engine runs smoothly without hesitation. Always consult the specific service manual for your model for precise settings.
To adjust the idle mixture on a 2005 Harley-Davidson Fat Boy, start by warming up the engine to operating temperature. Use a screwdriver to turn the idle mixture screw, located on the carburetor, clockwise to lean the mixture or counterclockwise to enrich it. Make small adjustments, about a quarter turn at a time, and listen for a smooth idle; the optimal setting is where the engine runs consistently without stalling. After adjustments, ensure the idle speed is also set correctly using the idle speed screw.
Down the back of the queen seat there is a single screw into the fender. You might have to open the topbox for better access. Remove the screw, lift the rear of the seat ad slide backwards and upwards to release the front clip.
How do you know its low? Idle should be in the 950 to 1050 rpm range. I installed a MSD shift light. Its about the size of your index finger(tubelar in shape) I have a carberated softail so I opened the air/fuel to about two turns. Then I raised the idle to 950. I went back to the air/fuel mixture and found the "sweet" spot after going in and out a few times w/ the mixture screw. When the idle rose, I backed off on the idle screw to about 950 to 1000rpm. .
