they probly mean the AIR MIXTURE screw is set and sealed
the one you want to turn is the idle speed or throttle stop
it's probly on the throttle linkage
where the cable or rod connects
the throttle is the part that opens and closes when you press the gas pedal
the idle screw you want to turn to adjust idle speed will be prominent near the throttle
it's usually on the linkage
it keeps the throttle from closing all the way at idle
so the motor duzn't die
just turn it till you get the idle speed you want
