Turn the screw IN on the left side of the carb. It is for idle speed, not mixture, despite what the "instructions" say.

Let us know if that helps.

Push the tickler button on the left side of the carb, pull the choke 1/2 to 3/4 of the way UP pedal and release the clutch with the throttle just cracked open and as it warms up a bit, push the choke back down.

I always fire mine up, and ride it slowly to warm it up. I don't start it and then try to let it idle to warm it up.

One will blow your engine if set up correctly, the other doesn't do anything but boost the money from your wallet when set up.
