Has not been used for about 5 years. Replace fuel line and filter, air filter and spark plug. Carb cleaned up. Using the settings from the original manual; 1 1/4 turns out for idle mixture, not sure what the idle speed screw should be set to. Was able to get it to start and it continues to run with throttle, but it will not idle. Adjusted both screws many times and same result, seems like at idle it is not getting enough fuel. Any suggestions?

When you say the carb is "cleaned up", does that mean a full kit was installed? If so, was the circuit plate gasket with the "Z" shaped passage used? Another possibility is a swollen fuel inlet needle tip, especially if carburetor cleaner touched it.

Thanks. Cleaned the carb with a rag and carb cleaner, then canned air. Did not spray the carb, did not take it apart or replace parts. Since it runs well with throttle applied, would you know what the starting settings are for the idle screw? I searched but could not find much info or diagram for the carb, is the fuel inlet tip accessible? Never worked with something this small.

Finally got it running & idling after figuring out the idle and mixture initial settings.
