whats wrong with my car? carb related

did the carb kit on rx7 i just got

cleaned everything super good

car wont start alone, i have to tow it and pop the clutch

then car dies

first the idle screw was too loose tittened it all the way in and let it go 1 and a half turns back

tried adjusting it alot , i kept doing quarter turns on the screw but nothing

what could be wrong? why does it die out

all the lines are plugged in correctly

my cousin whoi was the owner of the car before even came and saw it, and everything seems well

anybowdy knows what may be wrong?

i know its hard asking for help like this, but its worth a shot

First make sure you have fuel/compression/spark. Then unflood the engine by removing the plugs from their journals and cranking the engine several times. Make sure you have a hot battery.
If you don't have any experience rebuilding carbs, then I hate to say it, but you might have done something wrong. Do you have a Haynes manual?
