Default Carburetor adjustments- Help!!!

I am running a Demon 850 with Vac secondaries and an electric choke....

I am in the process of figuring out how to adjust the carb. I have limited experience in this area. The car is running rich right now, so I want to lean it out. How should I go about adjusting it? Should I turn the mixture screws IN one full turn?

How can I tell if it is set correctly without an analyzer? Any ideas will help.

I also need some guidance on adjusting the electric choke. Where do I start??

Please help!!!

Thanks,

Bob

Bob pretty sure Demons are very similar to Holleys so this should help:
