The idle motor stops where it is.

The two upper screws you speak of are adjusted in this manner:
1. competely remove both nuts and screws
2. allow throttle to completely close due to the throttle plates closing and 
tight linkage.
3. insert stop screw and thread until it barely touches stop plate.
4. give it 1/4 turn and lock it down with a nut, being careful not to let the 
screw turn as well.
5. thread the upper idle switch screw until you hear the switch click, then 
give it another turn for good measure. you should be able to push the switch 
down much further with a screwdriver, but that doesn't matter, as long as it 
clicked.
6. lock down with the nut.

the throttle should stop when closed due to the lower stop screw, not due to 
linkage (causes damage if slammed down) but there should be minimal lift of 
the throttle (minimum threading to make it open). the idle switch should click 
every time, no matter if you let go of the gas pedal quickly or slowly.
