Turn the screw in gently until it stops and count the turns. After I get carbs set I screw them all in and write it down, then turn them back out to where they need to be.
That's what I recommend. Also make sure the screw(and spring, washer, and O-ring: don't lose anything!) and jet go back in the same cylinder/throat. It matters.

Thank you. I've been cleaning just the idle jets at the start of each season but I can see why it'd make more sense to clean the whole circuit.

And just confirm we're talking about the Idle Mixture Screw:
