I accidentally left the fuel petcock on after riding my '01 Kodiak 400 4x4. . .the carb got gummed up with bad gas so I removed it to clean it. . .I pulled all of the jets and needles, but I forgot to count the # of turns it took to remove the pilot screw when I took it out. . .now I can't get the Kodiak to start. . .

I can get it to fire up using starting fluid, but I can't keep it running. . .can anybody help me out by telling the ~ # of turns my pilot screw needs to be set out so that I don't spend forever trying to chase a setting that it will start at. . .

Thanks!!!
