I would love to follow but have no idea whats going on in this list of numbers.

If some one could maybe just explain some of the numbers that really have importance.

and my main question is what pilot screw do I turn 3.5 turns back? I know it says mixture screw but just want to make sure that, that is the one on top on the engine side correct?

Yes, top front of the carb. Set them to 3 turns or so and then tweak them until you achive the highese idle level.

Thank you! is there any thing else in thos numbers that I need to know? I have all the OEM parts and another set of carbs I use for parts.

The only other adjustments are carb sync and float level. Sync should be done as part of normal maintenance and float levels should be checked if you take the carbs off.

ok cool thank you but in what measurement is the number listed. do I use a gapper tool? or what?

and is every thing else just tightened all the way?

I have taken these carbs off 2 times before this because I missed things so I am finally following the carb rebuild cite and I just want to make sure i do this right finally.
