MTD 960 Carb Settings?

Could someone post a picture of the carburator/throttle linkage for me? Mine is a little messed up from the previous owners gas pedal modification. Also, does anyone know how many turns out the idle air screw should be? Thanks

Check my other thread titled "New to me, Old MTD" Blacksmithman posted a few links to online manuals that are quite helpful
Ok, so atleast I got that much right lol. Now my problem seems to be back firing, it will idle shitty for a few seconds make a few back fires then stall out. Usually starts right up again, but continues to backfire and stall. Anyone know what could be causing this?
I have just been doing a little reading, and could this problem be the result of my fuel tank being very low?

In my experience it's either a run-or-don't-run situation. No constant sputtering or anything like that.
thank you once again blacksmithman
