Default Initial Carb Settings - 1980 ATC185

Does anyone happen to know what the initial settings are on an ATC 185 carb? I have a 1980 185. Just rebuilt the carb, It's a "Keihin". Need initial settings like all the way in and then 2 turns out, etc and so forth. As always, help is very much appreciated. Thanks to all and have a great day!

That should be very close, and depending on others things, the setting should get it started, and fine tune from there. Lightly turn the mixture screw, in (leaner), until you feel increased resistance. Dont force it further. or the tip of the mixture screw can deform. From there, turn the screw out 2 turns.
Set the idle speed screw, so the slide is barely lifted from the fully down position. All jets and other screws are snug.

Hey Thanks a Million. I used to work on these in the 70's but couldn't remember what the settings were. I printed your reply and have it in my notebook. Thanks!
