Hey, guys! I know this is super basic, but I could sure use some tips. After the engine is warmed up, she's idling at around 1300-1500 RPMs. I know where the idle adjust knob is, but don't know which direction to turn it. Also, any pointers on how to turn it without frying my delicate little fingers would be appreciated.

TIA

East to do with a flat blade screwdriver, place against the protrusions on the idle adjust knob. To lower the idle, press against the left side of the knob looking at it from the right side vantage point. That would be the same as unscrewing it if looking at it like a hanging light bulb.
