Help again

So, my engine was flooded. The un-flood trick worked, but now it is like it has no idle. When I start it it revs up a little bit but the rpms just fall and the engine stalls. Ive been reading about the ATF trick and I was wondering if this would cure the idle problem or if it is something else. Thanks!

I wouldnt touch the screw until you narrow down the possibilities. It could be a vacuum leak for all we know. Perhaps your engine is low on compression and that is why it flooded in the first place. Have you tried driving it yet? Does it have any power?

ATF is usually used to just get it started
