The engine is in the car and running, but it doesn't like RPM's below 1200 or so, when it starts rocking and mis-firing. One of the cylinders is backfiring at idle, so I replaced the spark plugs and it's still happening. My question is what should be the starting point for the idle mixture screws with these jets? How do you adjust the idle mixture and know if it's too lean or rich?

Here's my carb specs.

Choke 36mm
Main jet 160
Emulsion tube 7772.8
Air correction jet 230
Idle jet 58
Idle jet holder 7850.9
Pump jet 60

Thanks.
