Subject:adjusting idle speed and switch lever position..

ok.. got this beastie (teh blue van) re-assembled. and
it runs without blowing up. yay.

took the throttle body loose, now it's all outta
whack.

how do i make it right again?

should the idle be adjusted by using the screw slat on
the end of the linkage for the accelerator cable, or
the big screw on top of the throttle? specifically,
should the link rod (with the spring and circlip on
the end) be screwed all the way into the threaded tube
that holds it?

and how do i adjust the arms that press the idle /
full throttle switches correctly?
