Montgomery Ward Seaking 75 HP Clinton Engine Help

"I received a Montgomery Ward

"I received a Montgomery Ward Seaking 7.5 HP outboard with a Clinton engine model # K750 3107 D. It hasn't been started in a long time. I mixed some 40 to 1 and fired her up. She runs great, very clean and very strong. When I go to slow idle she back fires and then dies. I can see the fire. Can someone tell me how to fine tune her. I am running her between 2000' and 7000' elevation. I need the basics on the idle screw, altitude, and fuel mixture. I was guessing with 40 to 1. Not much experience, but handy and a quick study. Thank you for any help.

Is this an older motor with adjustable high & low speed jets?"
