What you could try to do is make sure the spring is around the idle screw and if so dont keep adjusting the idle because you will ware down the sring and mess up your idle and try to just start it and leave the choke on for about 3 min but dont leave it while it isnt running because you dont want to flood the engine

If it runs fine, but won't Idle - try adjusting your throttle cable at the thumb control (screw the cable outwards) - the ETC may be kicking in. Make sure you back your idle adjustment screw on the carb back out.
