The fact that your Idle mixture screws are not effecting the idle as you back them back out is concerning.......BITE the bullet, box your carburetor up and send it to CharlieNY (Charlie Schwindler). This way you will KNOW with 100% certainty that is is working 100% properly and can eliminate that from the "cause" list of possibilities. After about 4 turns from bottom the idle screws "SHOULD" start effecting the idle again from bottom!!!!
