i just rebuilt this carb.  it appears to be a non-leaker!

i'm have problems with the idle setting, in the fact i have no idea how to set them.  it has the automatic choke using engine heat.  it doesn't really work so i'm converting it over to a manual choke.

When the motor warms up the idle is around 2000 rpm and its buring a lot of gas.  it runs really rich.  i adjusted the two screws at the base of the carb and have them set to about a half a turn out from full in.

i live at 4500 feet above sea level so i need to run it pretty lean? i will also be driving this vehicle about 8000 feet in the summer.

so my main questions are:

how to set the idle?

how to adjust the mixture?

Thanks
