Tecumseh Go Kart

Tecumseh Go Kart engine running rich at a idle, sputtering and dying, runs better at mid and full throttle. Cant find a diagram for the carb, which I need, to tell a friend over the phone which screw is the idle mixture adjustment. Here is the model of the engine=

OHH60-71137C

    So..... 40-44 seems to be the idle mixture adjustment, correct? But it doesn't really show where that entire screw unit goes on the carb?

    The screw on the bottom of the float bowl is ALWAYS the high speed adjustment.
     
    Low speed screws (if even there), are closer to the head, quite a bit smaller and 
    very close to the throttle bore itself.  It's also placed (again if equipped) between the 
    throttle and intake.   
     
    Most new engines do not have ANY adjustments (EPA stuff)..  
    Adjustments would be made by changing jet sizes or manually opening up a jet
    (Very, very small jet drill bit's).  This would richen the mix being bigger.  Once drilled
    you can't go back (short of buying another jet)..
     
    For machines that have adjustment screws, to set them:
      1.   I push the throttle WIDE OPEN momentarily and adjust for smooth operation..
             
      2.   Adjust the low speed screw for a smooth, solid idle with no bogging when accelerating..

    40-44 is the entire main jet assembly which holds the float bowl to the carb body..
