Default Scrambler 500 Throttle Adjustment

Is there a way to adjust the throttle on my Scrambler. When it idles you have to keep your thumb just barely on the throttle or it dies. And when I say just barely, it doesn't even look like the throttle moves when you let go. The engine speed doesn't even seem like it changes that much, but it must be just enough. When I first start it up and have the choke on it runs fine, but then I will take it for a ride and warm it up with the choke off and as soon as I let go of the throttle it shuts off. No matter how warm it is.

The adjuster is on the cable by the housing.It is a long black nut with a jam nut.Pull the rubber cover back and you will see how to adjust it.
