Default Glow engine tuning help.

Hey guys i just bought a older engine online, its a few years old im sure..

Its a OS 60, and on the site it says
OS MAX FP
Muffler says E-4010

I want to know what a good place is to set the carb screw, how man turnes from closes.. I ran the egnine at the setting i recived the engine, it seems to run ok, sounds powerfull, but smells like its getting really hot. i dont have a temp gun yet, but plan on getting one soon.. The engine says very hot for a while unable to touch.. Where would a good safe setting be to run cooler, but enough power to climb out and fly.Thanks for all the help

Below is some pics of the engine and airplane..
