it sounded good but you still need to make a couple small adjustments.

An engine should idle at a noticiably lower rpm after 5-7 seconds of idling. This is caused by the engine "loading up" - too much fuel coming into the engine. This will eventually cause it to stall after another 5 or so seconds.

What you need to do is turn in your idle screw by an 1/8 of a turn and then richen your low speed needle about an 1/8 of a turn. Don't be afraid to make adjustments, it is how you learn. It is alright if the engine runs lean for a minute or two so don't worry about that. Don't make any adjusments more than an 1/8 of a turn at a time.
