what is the valve screw that holds the float bowl on function and where should it be set. is this the air adjustment?

Its the main mixture screw,

Turn the mixture adjusting screw in (clockwise) finger
tight, then one (1) turn out (counterclockwise). This
setting is approximate and will be enough to allow
the engine to start so that final carburetor adjustments
can be made. Start the engine and allow it to warmup
for approximately 5 minutes. Do not adjust the
carburetor with the engine cold.
NOTE: If the engine falters or stops after the choke
lever is moved to the "OFF" position, open the mixture
adjusting screw 1/4 turn counterclockwise and restart
the engine.
