Hey guys my mixture is off on my Holley carburator. I'm wondering for a quick fix until I can get it in to a mechanic. About how many turn counterclockwise (if i start with them all the way in) do I need to turn both idle mixture screws to get a good balance. I know I should do it with a vacuum gauge and I will but just trying to get out this weekend with family for birthday. Any suggestions would be great

Here are some instructions from the SKIDIM.com website. I did this and mine is running great now.

HOLLEY CARB ADJUSTMENT INSTRUCTIONS
1. Rev up the engine to clear it out.
2. Turn air screw in until you hear engine begin to bog and miss.
3. Now, turn screw out with 1/2 increments until you hear that the engine is steady and running smoothly.
4. Repeat procedure on air screw on opposite side of the metering block.
That’s it!
