If you click the "KZ Information" tab on the top you will get to a place where "articles" are. Under "articles" there is another tab for "tech tips". Under there there are 2 writeups that are excellent called carb 101 and carb 102. Kind of off the beaten path but worth seeking out. Some good info. I think 2.5 turns is 1 turn too many for most applications. But be sure to go find and read these two articles.
