Default Idle screw? M44?

if yes then that's what mine did too. a simple adjustment of the idle screw (on the throttle body) to bring my idle from about 500rpm to about 600-700 rpm fixed it.
Saintly: This would definitely be something I could do...That being said, I was unaware of an idle screw (or adjustment) for the M44 motor...Whereabouts is it sir?
