Default mb 220 1971

First post. My BIL just bought a 1971 220 gas in very good condition. The idle is set way too fast. We can't seem to find where the adjusting screw is located. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks

Thanks man - my brother in law (see above) pointed me to this forum... As he's stated, I've a new (old) '71 220 - I've just had it certified. Prior to certification it was running, but had some issues with the fuel pump and pre-ignition. A new fuel pump, down pipe, exhaust, fan motor, engine mounts and carb phalnge later, I'm sorted. However, since getting the car back, I've found that the idle tends to be high. I've been looking for the adjustment on the carb but can't find it - any ideas? The engine is a 4 cylinder, single carb...

Thanks - cheers - Bruce
