Adjust the idle screw in for starters, also check/replace the plug if it's been sitting. Clean air filter. Check the fuel filter.

If the pilot jet is clogged no amount of fiddling will fix idle. It is a VERY small hole and plugs easily.

Yeah def. clean the carb, several times actually, 3rd is usually the charm. Use compressed air for jet passages. Some here have.had great results with sonic cleaners. Good luck man

And you adjusted the idle screw? Have you looked into adjusting the mixture screw?
