Sure is possible. The trick is to put the screws in loosely, then close
the throttle firmly all the way to centre the throttle plate in the carb
body. This means backing off the idle screw.
How to check it? Hold the carb body up to the light and look through it.
If you can see light, it isn't centred.
When it is, tighten and lock the screws.
The fast tickover will be air getting past the not-fully-closed throttle
plates.
Cheers,
