For once the no0b is right. Check for any kind of vacuum leaks.

Also, it's not a common problem, but make sure your Fuel pump is getting enough pressure and volume to your carburetor.

How sure are you that you are turning the idle screw, and not the mixture screw?

im pretty sure im turning the right screw because the mixture screw is on the bottom right below the idle screw, and once its warmed up the choke sometimes sticks and i push it in from the carb and right after that the engine dies. its really pissing me off i want to drive it ahh
