I don't think you have a carburettor. You must be refering to the throttle body.
Are there any abnormal engine noises?
What is the idling speed?
Any changes in idling speed when A/C is turned on?

The idling speed should be stable at 700-800 rpm when at operating temperature. When A/c is turned on, it should maintain the same rpm.

If the rpm wanders at idle, it can mean the valve needs adjustment.

Not likely. I would still suggest checking the valve clearances.
