Default Idle screw

Where is it?! coswroth 1993 dohc blue top turbo engine - can't locate the idle screw to turn idle down. Currently running at about 10000-11000 rpm.

Presumably its fairly straightforward...?

its underneath where the boost hose from the intercooler joins the throttle

i use a stubby flat blade screw driver to adjust mine.

10,000 - 11,000 RPM, that is some high tickover, I see why it needs turning down!!
