That little knob can be used to set the bike into different modes for various things, such as balancing the carbs. Laying the bike up could run the battery flat (get yourself an opti-charger, LIDL do one for £13), the fuel lines could be empty/dirty and the whole thing will be damp. Once you get it running, let it warm up before you get on it. Get yourself the Haynes manual. Money well spent. Good luck, and welcome
You say about using the idle speed knob when adjusting the carbs. Do I just take it you use the idle speed adjuster to get the revs to 3000 rather than use the throttle, is is there some other magic going on here??
