84 DT 85 rich/lean setting

can anyone tell me the factory setting for the rich lean screws on the front of my dt85. I need to reset them after I was on the mississsippi and my idle screw vibrated loose. I assumed it was the rich lean mixture but overlooked my idle adjustment. Now It runs like crap and I need the proper settings to get my baby back up to par. any input would be greatly appreciated.
