does it have an idle speed adjustment screw ?  raises or lowers the throttle valve (slide) not the low speed mixture screw , i had a kx 420 about the same year ,no idle setting , so when hand comes off , shuts fully

Hey Z man,
 Try the AIR JET, I have just had major issues trying to tune a YZ250, in the bell (inlet) of the carby there should be a jet fitted right in line with the needle which regulates how much air goes to the needle jet. this should maybe be a 2.0mm. After all of my try's to tune i discovered this was not present once i put one in the thing ripped on std jetting. All this is considering that you have a mikuni round slide carby.

Try to adjust the idle by using the cable adjuster.Good luck..everything should idle.

I think this option is taking the road best travelled by pain...... :(. You really should have some play in your cable or it's probably going to rev up with the bars turned one way and your choke systems not going to working properly either (with the slide open a fraction).
If your pilot jet is right and the air mixture correct (assuming all else is right and proper) you should be able to get it to idle to some degree (mine usually cut out if I haven't blipped the throttle after 20 seconds or so.)
I usually only use the idle speed adjustment screw to help when I'm playing with the air screw. Once I think I've got it about right I back the idle screw (slide adjustment) right off.
