OK so I found out why is going max throttle, I had the throttle linkages backward and zero throttle was actually full throttle.

So right now, the engine starts and stop. From what I have read, that means the mixture is either to lean or rich. I haven't touched that setting yet, and I would imagine the know that needs to be tinkered with is the mixture control screw correct?

From what I read the mixture screw needs to be set a bit richer. So it seems that my entire settings are to lean, is that correct? If so, how much do I actually need to turn the mixture screw, just in tiny increments and keep trying till it idles?
