Not familiar with that engine at all but close both LSN and HSN fully and open them both 2.5 turns out.

Also when you say it won't run now do you mean it won't start? Or won't stay running after started?

Ok it fired up, good.

When it started and running rough was there a lot of fuel coming out of the exhaust? If so then it sounds too rich. Clear out any standing fuel in the engine now ie. remove plug and turn the engine over a few times. Hold a rag at the plug hole to avoid making a mess.

Close the LSN a further 1/4 -1/2 turn and try to start it again.
