Would the factory manual be any help as it shows adjustments in it?

The air screw is the small copper screw (the one you turn with a small screwdriver.) It should be one turn out from lightly seated. The Throttle Stop screw (the one you can turn with your fingers) should be set equall to give you the RPM you want at idle. I'm assuming you fished out the old fuel pickup tube in the tank to reuse the weighted filter on the end? If not, a bent coat hanger works pretty well to grab it
