when i start it up it will only stay running if i pull the trottle to keep the RPM high and if i let it go engine shuts off. Im thinkin it might be the idle jet because i cant adjust the screw, if i screw it out to the left it dies. Just thinking about it i never installed a new fuel filter. What are the recommendations to clean the idle jet?

before you go ripping the carb apart check for vacuum leaks. its easy and cheap. start it up and take your can of carb cleaner and spray it around the base of your carb, slowly. listen for changes. check all hose connections and mating surfaces. anywhere there could potentially be a leak. now if you dont find one and you move to the next step you will have a cleaner carb to take apart. it only takes a tiny speck to clog a jet so cleanliness is key. if you do find a leak fix it and repeat until no more are found. then move on to tuning the carb.
