With older flatheads I find them very forgiving about set-up. They will usually start with ignition timing and carburation all over the place and then you can dial them in. Yesterday we had a 1940 Chief on the rollers which hadn't run in about ten years, with an M344 carburetor, and it fired up with the high speed needle two turns out and the low speed three turns. After warming up it needed the idle screw turned in about one turn to get a fastish tickover, the high speed needle in half a turn and the low speed out a full turn. Most of the literature gives you that kind of rather rich starting position. Others may have different experiences.
