Once it starts, I throttle up slightly and it sounds like it's getting flooded or bogging down, and if I throttle too fast it dies. Also a lot of fuel spews out of the exhaust pipe and covers the ground in fluid. I can't reach the idle screw because it's facing towards the chassis. Any suggestions?

(I tried posting pictures but it said no url until at least 10 posts, will post when I can.)
