If you have zero control with the mixture screws check for nozzle drip.

I'd also put my hand gently over the choke housing and see if it speeds up and smooths out some.  If you have either scenario it needs more idle fuel and may also need more idle bypass air.

It would also be nice to know ALL of the engine specs, CID, compression ratio, advertised duration, .050" duration, LSA, etc?......Cliff
