the engine starts fine but idles way too high i need to know where the idle control is

there is a small air filter you need to clean to. it is under the idle screw.

there is an idle speed screw on the end of engine. start the engine,let run at high to warm up. release throttle trigger,let engine idle.if it stops,insert a phillips andturn clockwise until it idles smoothly. there is a free manual online. i looked up ryobi 705r and found one to download.
