Default low idle setting

Hi, I have an older 46fx and I need advice, where or rather how do I setup the low idle screw, I need a general starting spot, like 1 and 1/2 turns from all the way out or something along those lines. I had it idleing but it bogged down bad when I cranked it to high speed. usually it stalls out. I turned it in a ways an now I cant get it to start on low idle anymore. Also it sat for a long time so I took it apart and cleaned it out and made sure the piston ring was free. It was seized but its loose now. I have low compression till it warms up then its strong, is that normal for a ringed piston. Its been ten years since this beast ran , It did run ok and cranks up to around 10500 with a 10/6 on it. I just need some advice on that darn idle screw. Anyone care to through out a few suggestions. Thanks in advance.
