Use a Phillips screwdriver to adjust the carburetor idle screw until the tachometer reads as close to 3100 RPM as possible:
Turn the idle screw clockwise to increase RPM
Turn the idle screw counterclockwise to decrease RPM
Once the idle has been set, shut off the motor and disconnect the tachometer.
