It would depend on the carb - not the year, vehicle, or engine. Most rebuild kits come with specific instructions, so you could either buy one, or Google it.

The only screws you can adjust are the idle mixture.
Never bottom a screw in hard.
If it's a fresh rebuild that hasn't run 3 1/2 turns out from bottomed will generally get it to run.
If it's running; you do one screw at a time (if it has 2). Turn it in till it starts to run rough, out till it starts to run rough, then 1/2 way back.
If it has 2 screws, I would go back and forth several times till they're both in the optimium idle spot.
It's not about the fastest or slowest idle, it's about the best idle.
