Default 2007 Polaris Trail Boss 330 Won't Idle

Our atv won't idle. I've been told there is an idle adjustment screw on the bottom of the carburetor. Our problem is, we have no idea what or where the carburetor is. I've read the service manual and it says it's under the airbox but is there a way to reach the idle screw without taking anything off, out or apart? We know very little about ATVs. Please help explain this as simple as possible. Thank You

First off make sure you have 1/8" slack only at the throttle lever. Any more slack than that and the etc contacts can touch and kill the machine when you let off the throttle. The idle adjuster is item#16 on the thumbnail pic.Turn inward to increase idle rpms,out to decrease.

Glad that's all that was wrong.A simple thing that a lot of people over look. I adjusted a lot of throttle cables in the back of pick up trucks and trailers when customers couldn't figure out what was happening.
