Can't you use one of the other carbs as a guide? Turn all the way in counting the turns, then reversing.

but remember, thats just a `starting point`..........you may find they will need fine-tuning to get things running spot on which may mean they are all turned in / out a bit from your `starting point`. no two engines are the same.......what may work on one engine at 2 turns out may be utter sh&te on another. bear that in mind. good luck with it ;)

Excellent tip ade!!
Is there any "easy" way to find the sweet spot?
Maybe with the carbtune or everything must be done by ear at idle speed?
Thanks again! :thumbup
