Default 1987 suzuki lt230 idle?

wats goin on i posted a few days ago about my lt230.changed the oil cleaned the carb good and it is running better.but i still cant get it to idle i got it idling high at the moment so it wont stall not really high but its to high.if i try to bring the idle screw down more it just stalls out,and it is very difficult to get started i kick it many times sometimes just to get it started.i checked the plug the plug looks fine.the mixtures screw is 2turns out.any ideas any1 i still beleive i have an air leak somewhere just my guessor i was wondering if it could be a spark,coil issue or something.it runs and rides fine now just cant get it to idle.any help would be much appreciated thanks.ill post pics in a couple days.

also the kid i bought it off of said he thinks the float could be sticking is that a possibility why i can get it to idle.its not the throttle cable it is fine,i got it to idle decent for a little bit then after about a minute it will stall out the float is pretty cheap but im just wondering if i should try this or look somewhere else,any help is appreciated

did you pull the needle that is attached to the float and clean it then spray a little wd40 on it
