It's an S2 and wondered which way you turn the screw for more revs and less revs?

Cheers

as per stu...

think of it as erm... a screw... lol

its like a bleed valve... theres a hole near the end of the thread of the screw and so if you losen the screw it moves out more letting more air bypass the throttle hence revs increase (same affect as openeing the throttle a bit)
