I've got idle problems.
Ok, so I got my engine running but it won't idle. I have no idea how to adjust the carb or choke. Background, the truck sat for 5 years. I did all of the minor maintenance and rebuilt the carb. During the rebuild I was trying to clean out one of the bolt holes for the accelerator pump and I accidently punched a hole through to the fuel bowl. I figured it wasn't a big deal, but now I think that may be my problem. When I rebuilt the carb I screwed both of the idle screws in halfway. I started backing them out and got it to idle roughly, but after a few minutes the engine died. Can anyone give me a "Carb Adjustments for Dummies" lesson just so I can get her running? Also, I am trying to find a book or video on carb adjustments, so any recommendations would be appreciated. BTW, here's Flo.

The diaphram isn't rupture, instead the bolt hole goes through to the fuel bowl.
