Idle speed screw or idle mixture adjustment screw? They're two different animals.

Before I did anything I'd screw the mixture screw in and then back it out about 2 turns. Then I'd let the engine get to normal operating temp and make certain choke is fully open. Set idle speed screw between 500 and 550 rpm and then adjust idle mixture screw until the engine is running smoothly. I've tried this with a vacuum gauge and have never really felt it told me much one way or another.
