The rebuild kit should have included a paper with all the various adjustment specifications for all the carb #'s the kit fits. Look up your carb # (located on the driver side of the carb ... starts with a 170) on that paper and it'll give you all the settings for float height, choke adjustment, and such.

I've got my jets set a 2 and a half turns

I assume you're meaning the
idle mixture screws are 2 1/2 turns out since the
jets are inside the carb and have a fixed size orifice. If that's the case, 2 1/2 turns should be enough to get the engine to start & run but might need some fine-tuning for a good idle. Adjusting these won't change the way the engine runs at higher speeds though.

I'll be setting my idle adjuster on top of the carb to four turns tomorrow.

Not sure what you're referring to here ... Idle speed screw over on the driver side of the carb?

I've got to fix that choke. It's suppose to open all the way up right(up and down)? Right not it opens up at it's fullest at about 100 degree angle. I feel like it should be more of a 90 degree angle. Please help. I need to get this think Smogged

Yes, the choke should be pretty much straight up & down when it's fully opened.
