Help! Tao Tao idle/running prob

Ok I have exhausted all the resources on this site and still can't figure out what's going on. It only has 111 miles on it but has been sitting for about 6months - Tao Tao 50 will not idle or run unless started with starting fluid and then will bog down and die after a few seconds - Have checked fuel source (good) - adjusted valves to .003 (they were tight) - removed fuel adjustment tamper proof cover to adjust only to find a tamper proof screw?? How the heck am I supposed to adjust that? Actually did run a little better after valve adjustment and would run/bog/run/bog and then would die when down to idle. Also when i went to remove carb cover - they tightened the damn screws(slotted) on so much that I stripped the one screw - will get the file out and file new slot if needed but was hoping that I wouldn't have to do that - Help?
