As far as the air screws I turned them in all the way(Gently so that the screw doesn't get scored!) and turned them out a turn and a half with the idle screw set very low. I then turned the idle screw up and opened the right side air screw until the idle started to go up. I did the same turns for the other side and the idle went up higher then backed them both off around a 1/4 turn and the idle went down. Was this the right way to do it? I don't have a shop manual.
Sorry, I explained it wrong! I didn't turn the idle screw up after it was set very low. I turned the AIR screw until the idle went to the desired idle and did the same for the other side. I then turned them a 1/4 turn back as the idle was a bit high after turning the second screw and set it there. It now starts without me pumping the gas and idles perfectly cold then drops to a nice clean, even idle.
