Hey, I'm no expert by any means, but I've put a lot of hours in on the carbs this winter/spring on my bike and I am having some idling trouble too. After a complete (at least I thought it was complete at the time) carb break down/cleaning/rebuild, I could get it to run, but it wouldn't idle well, had to keep giving it throttle to keep it from stalling. Today I pulled the carb rack out and checked the main jets which looked as good as when I cleaned them. Then a buddy suggested that I check out the pilot (low speed) jets. Well, I didn't take them out when I did my cleaning, etc. because they looked like they were part of the carb itself and I didn't think they came out. After pulling them out today I realized they were plugged shut. Since those are the jets that control the idle, I'm thinking that's my problem. I have them soaking in carb cleaner right now and I will scrub them and put them back in tomorrow. Hopefully it'll work! Also, in regards to your idle adjust, by tightening the idle screw, you should be pushing your throttle back (more gas) and by loosening it, it should let your throttle come forward (less gas). Hope that helps!
