Default Created My Own Problem

Okay, So after reading all of the posts here regarding savage's running lean and noticing the discoloring on my exhaust pipe I attempted to adjust the fuel/air mixture on my carb. First off, not the most technical person in the world but I thought I could pull this one off.

My bike now will run for approximately 5 minutes, sputter, backfire then stall. After that the bike will not start for approx 1.5 hours at which point the same thing happens.

Any suggestions that you have would be great. I would like to avoid taking her to the shop if possible as the two shops that are close are backed up for at least 3 weeks. (Already called)

Thanks in advance.
