yeah it is running rich with it connected but the mixture screw is all the way in and intact,
and the idle jet is clean

Re: running issues idling
When adjusting the mixture screw is there any change in the engine idle? i.e are you actually effecting the mixture when moving the screw

Have you had the screw out to inspect it, I know you say it's intact but just checking but either way I would say the problem is definitely mixture related.

has it just started doing this or has it always done it?

It's been ages since i've tinkered with these carbs but if adjusting the screw is making no difference and the screw is good as you have proved surely it must be something with the fuel enrichment/mixture circuit?

Re: running issues idling
Your mixture screw has got the tip snapped off.
It should look like this
Get a new one fitted and it should fix all your problems.
