Is there a starting point for setting idle mixture screw? Purchased motor, cleaned carb, installed new plugs, new gas, starts ok with 2 primes and left turned at full idle with prime knob pulled out about 1/2 way, when warm can push knob back in, runs OK in gear and underload but when coming to stop and back to neutral will stall. Does not like to run at low idle. The mixture screw is currently 1 turn out. Should mixture screw be adjusted or should I try giving it more air by opening the butterfly a bit with its adjusting screw?
