I think we need a better explanation on what you're trying to do. Is the mtr now running ??

Sorry most of my message didn't post
the engine runs quite well. I have had the usual problems, new plugs, wires, new rotor, selinoid.
the issue has came up after running seafoam thru the engine. It had so much carbon and black goo come out of it that now its settings aren't quite right
I believe the needle valves are set correctly but I still have to go full choke to start it and usually clunks out when put in gear. My hope is the idle adjustment screw can help with running at idle.

Thanks in advance

The initial setting on the slow speed neeedles is 1/2 turn out. You'll have to look on your throttle linkage towards the top for the idle speed adjustment screw. Did you take and run the hell out of the mtr after doing the Seafoam treatment ? If not, you better, as things may change.
