Any advice or recommendations would be awesome! Thanks!!

confusing semantics.....the pilot jet screw and idle/mix screw are 1 and the same. Note NO bleed holes, pointy tip, spring, washer and o-ring. Yes, 2.5 out from lightly seated is the accepted starting position. Though note they are NOT located *inside* the float bowl.
The actual pilot jet (which IS located inside the bowl) gets reasonably tightened. Don't go all gorilla, you'll regret it later. Note YES bleed holes and non-pointy tip, no orings, springs.
Don't forget to check for presence of the needle jets, the silver things that so often "go missing". They get inserted under the emulsion tubes, the open end inserted downwards.
Yep, pilot adjust SCREW and pilot JET, differing locations and settings.
Good luck with it.
