You have to screw it counter-clockwise if it isn't idling. I had to unscrew mine mostly out to get it to regularly idle, and I don't know if that's a good thing or a bad thing.

Petrol is not a cleaner. It is a fuel.
To clean electrical parts, 100% Alcohol from a hardware store is good if you cannot find electrical contact cleaner.
Double check your wiring. Also, if you are using the factory plug in connectors, cut them off and throw them away. They are junk and cause alot of problems for many folks.
The wires connections need to be soldered and sealed with heat shrink tubing or electrical tape. Heat shrink tubing being greatly preferred.
