An easy way with out the meter is to loosen the screws, let the spring take to the one side, then slowly turn it until you hear the motor sort of click over to a lower rev.
basically with the volt meter you have it on iirc like idl and e2 ir what ever it is, you just turn it and when it deflects like goes from example like10v to 3v rapidly. Obviously thats not the actual voltage tho. You want it to hit the idle contacts so it can idle properly. IF its too far one way it will take too much throttle to get out of idl circuit and if its not enough you will never be on the idle circuit. You want it to be barely on the idle contacts so as soon as you give it any sort of gas its off the idl circuit.
