Just wanted to know if anyone have a rough idea so I won't get rip off by the mechanic.

thanks again everyone for help !!!
You only got it in the ball park, If you do not have a meter to set the on off ratio it can be done by road testing. You know what you had to do to make it start and hold,now go back in and fine tune it.test it with those small turns of the allen find a spot where the engine likes to live and is very comfortable.Fine adjustments will get your throttle response back and the smooth Idle your looking for.GOOD LUCK JNT
