DX running rich?

Forgive the n00biness of this post but have forgotten most of my Rocco knowledge!

The red shed seems to be ponging a fair bit after use, smells quite fuely...

It seems to like idling high at above 1k

Will a slight adjustment of the idle screw help? Can someone point me in the right direction for which screw as well as I've forgotten and google isn't providing the goods(!)

The mixture does not usally go out on a K-jet engine, I would be looking into other things before messing with the mixture as you really need to use a CO2 meter to set it.
Air filter, spark plugs, HT leads, Dissy cap and rotor arm would be the 1st thing's I would be looking at.

Am planning to give it a good service after my wedding at the end of this month, hadn't considered cap/leads tbh, will throw them on as well, I think with everything I've got going on at the moment, am overlooking the obvious
