Default Can't Adjust Carb-Engine won't Run Long Enought

I am really fighting to get my new cheapie carb adjusted on my Quietline 1200.
Put the new carb on and it will start pretty quick with 1/2 choke and 1/2 throttle. I had pre adjusted the fast idle screw on top to 2 revs up and out from bottom, slow idle adjustment 2 and 1/2 revs up and out of bottom.
After starting, if any change it throttle and the engine dies. If left to run after starting, I will only run for about 30 seconds then quits. Help! I am very frustrated.
Thanks for all replies!

I gave up on the new Chinese junk carburetor. Got the old one out, took it apart and it was filthy. Bowl is corroded and needs a good cleaning. I'm going to clean it up, and any parts that need replacing will rob off the Chinese and see if they will interchange. Bowl, needle etc. Will do the rebuild in the morning over coffee and reinstall by lunch. I will report how it goes late tomorrow. Thanks for the replies.

Usually just a real good cleaning gets them going. I soak my carb in lacquer thinner. Just make sure the rubber parts are not soaked. Clean the float seat with a “Q” tip. If you have torch tip cleaners, they work great for the passages and offices. You can use kitchen cleanser on a “Q” tip to polish the jets and the float seat.

Cub Cadet is a premium line of outdoor power equipment, established in 1961 as part of International Harvester. During the 1960s, IH initiated an entirely new line of lawn and garden equipment aimed at the owners rural homes with large yards and private gardens. There were a wide variety of Cub Cadet branded and after-market attachments available; including mowers, blades, snow blowers, front loaders, plows, carts, etc. Cub Cadet advertising at that time harped on their thorough testing by "boys - acknowledged by many as the world's worst destructive force!". Cub Cadets became known for their dependability and rugged construction.

MTD Products, Inc. of Cleveland, Ohio purchased the Cub Cadet brand from International Harvester in 1981. Cub Cadet was held as a wholly owned subsidiary for many years following this acquisition, which allowed them to operate independently. Recently, MTD has taken a more aggressive role and integrated Cub Cadet into its other lines of power equipment.
