Initial settings are 3 turns out for the main jet and 1 turn for the idle mixture. With the engine warmed up and at wide open throttle, turn the main jet in until the engine stumbles, then out until smooth, plus maybe 1/4 turn more, you want the main jet as lean as possible.

Be sure your sediment bowl is clean and not restricted as Jim indicated. There is also an inline screen in the fitting that the fuel line screws into at the carb.
