Default 1970 With orig tillotson carb settings help please.

I know alot of you will think I am nuts, but I just had my orig carb completely rebuilt and I am not having much luck getting the carb adjusted. I know this is common for them, and alot of people say throw it in the trash. The bike fires up immediately, but I want to make sure it is not too rich or lean. Guys who have had luck with these carbs, can you tell me where your top and side screw is set at to get me close ? Thank you in advance for any tillotson setting info.

Can't help with settings as the Tillotsons I own are in a box in the attic. However, your plugs will tell the whether you're rich or lean.
