Hi again Eddie, thanks for verifying you did that, now a couple of quick things you can try just to determine where to go.
Just before we go any further, I know you probably did but did you flush the fuel tank out and put new mixed fuel in? If yes then continue on...
When you prime the machine and attempt to start it, while its running, apply the choke. If you find that you can get the machine to run on the choke ( even poorly) I would start by turning the mixture screw OUT slowly. This will richer up the mixture.
If this doesn't help turn the idle speed screw (not the mixture screw, the one connected to the throttle plate)all the way IN until it stops and see if it will run, Don't worry if it runs very high, you can adjust it.
