A general setting is 1.5 turns out from lightly seated for the mixture screw .It sounds like your float is stuck though ,you can try lightly tapping on the side of the carb with a hammer to free it up ,or you might have to remove the float bowl and get things moving correctly inside .

A lot of times when there is no gas in the carb the float will get stuck and tapping it will un-stick it. If that dosent work you need to remove the carb and take it apart to check the float.
