Adjusting idle speed
HI thanks for all your help with fitting the new jets on my xr2 they are now installed and working well. The tick over on the engine out of gear is nearly 2k though is there a simple adjustment for the tick over that I can do that does not involve rebalancing the carbs? If so could someone point me in the right direction please? Photos are good (sorry) just don’t want to F*ck this engine up!

Ok there is no adjustment on the throttle arm as its at idle and the carbs are fully closed does this mean that i have to adjust the idle mixture on each of the carbs and if so would this be a job for a specialist?
