Not really.

After warm-up and checking sync, adjust the Idle Mixture Screws to get the highest RPMs, then go back and adjust the idle speed to 1300. It might be a good idea to go back and recheck the sync after making the initial adjustment. If a change is needed, go back and readjust the mixture screws again.

I like to make it about 1/8 turn richer (out) than the highest RPM to get a smoother transition, but for starters just get the highest.

Temperature changes, and the change in fuel blends that go with it, will alter the idle speed and mixture, so the idle mixture adjustment is something that does change at times.
