These are Strombergs?  Ah b'lieve that's an air bleed screw.  If
memory serves, it's a hack of some sort having to do with
"running in" a new engine.  You're supposed to gradually turn
that screw in to restore smooth idle as the engine settles.  On a
well-used engine, you just turn it all the way in & leave it.
