Remove the air filter and air cartridge. Turn the idle mixture screw clockwise. Now place the air filter and air cartridge in their positions. Restart the engine and allow to run for a few minutes in a half throttle. Turn the idle mixture screw clockwise,turn the screw half way when engine got slow.

Remove air filter and locate adjustment screws. Turn the "screw" clockwise. Stop once the registering needle reaches the seat.Turn the same screw back counterclockwise. Complete one and a half rotations.Restart your engine.Allow the engine to run for a few minutes. Locate the "idle mixture screw." Turn it clockwise. Once the engine has slowed, turn the screw back half way again.

Carburetor adjustments are done by finding the right fuel to air mixture. Locate the adjustment screws on the carburetor after removing the air cleaner if needed. If done carefully you can start the engine and slowly turn the screws in either direction to achieve your end result. This makes easy to find a comfortable idle or performance position.

Without knowing the type of carburetor or model and year of Toyota I can't tell you a lot. If you need to change the fuel mix you will probably have to swap out jets. There should also be an external screw to adjust idle if you need to.
