Default Basic settings?

Could you guys give me some basic carb needle settings to start with, just the low speed and idle. I was stoopid and started adjusting before i figured where I was at from the begining.

How many turns out from all the way clockwise on the low speed and the idle?

Ive done the pinch test when running and it seems perfect. The idle rises just a bit before dieing but then it wont restart. I have to pull the glow plug and let the motor air out, like its flooding and soaking the plug.

Is there a way I can tell if Im not getting enough or if Im getting too much fuel on start up?

I think there is a set screw that holds that screw - did you loosen it?
