Try adjusting the pilot jet screw. Typically should be between 1 1/2 to 2 1/2 turns out. This is a fuel jet (since it is on the intake manifold side of the carb) and a larger jet means more fuel. If you are at less than 1 1/2, then you need a smaller Pilot jet and if you are above 2 1/2, then you need a larger pilot jet.
I found I needed a 30 Pilot rather than the stock 20 to get a good idle.
This should get you to idle. The pilot jet works with the idle screw at closed to 1/4 throttle.
