Default Newbie problems HELP

I have a winner three off road smartech and the instructions SUCK.......they arent even the right model. Im confused about the idle stop screw the slow needle which it seems i can adjust on my controller. Is the idle screw the tiny one next to the airfilter or the one attached to the throttle. Also when i turn the screw it doesnt seem to make a difference. FEW, THanx! You ppl keep looking at this, please help!!!!!!!!

The idle screw is the little one and the other is LSN. Set the idle with the screw not the controller.
If you take the air filter off and turn the idle screw Clockwise the opening should be bigger. You should set the opening at about 1mm.

Yea but when i use the controller for the idle it can speed it up and slow it down. Only the one on my controller opens and closes the carb. The needle next to the airfilter makes it so when u break the engine gets some air so it doesnt stall. So to sum it up, the needle next to the airfilter controls the break and the thingy on my controller controls the idle. THen the high speed needle is normal and controls the mixture. MY instruction also are the model where there is no controller so im pretty sure i can just adjust my idol with the controller.

I said that you should not set the idle with the controller because when you break you might close the carb so thats why you should set it with the screw. By Idle I mean when you are not aplying throttle or break, at neutral if you want. you can speed up or slow down the idle with the IDLE screw thats why it is there you only have to go and adjust it. As I said you might have problems if you set it with the radio.
