[QUOTE="Pappy, post: 336462, member: 3278"] The fix is to actually get a kit for the carburetor. All you did was disassemble and reassemble. If you get an OEM kit you will notice there are small fiber washers and at least one small nylon washer. These are "packings" for that nut. The reason you are having that issue is that the packings both seal out the air and they put resistance on the idle mixture screw so it will hold a reliable idle mixture. Without them the mixture screw will be able to move freely. The OEM kit is the only full kit out there. Comes with everything needed to properly rebuild a carburetor once cleaned. Aftermarket kits are not complete. [/QUOTE]
