If everything is running fine now and it's just a matter of turning your idle screw, why not just run the engine and make the adjustment?
Also suggest using "Stabalize" or some other fuel additive on regular basis and if possible, disconnect fuel line and run engine dry after each use. (advice given based on experience)

This my friends is the problem. ETHANOL It works well enough in your car that is used every day. With boats, that are stored for six months at a time...no go. Ethanol seperates from the gas and turns everything..to GOO.
The ONLY solution is to
Stabilize the gas beforehand (I use StarTron) which ..."may help"..but not guaranteed. If your engine is acting up or not wanting to run at all...carberetter overhaul will be required to remove the GOO. Not cheap, and will be required every time you turn around. Stupid gas is Stupid gas. Just sayin.
