I put in the old jet from the old carb, it started right up and I rode the bike maybe a mile around my neighborhood topping out at 30 mph maybe. I come back 5 mins later and now it won't idle at all. It turns on for half a second and then shuts off

Edit : okay I put the other jet back and just took the little top part of it in the new carb and it started up. I'm trying to adjust the mixture screw which adjusts fuel as far as I know. I was able to turn the screw all the way in and it still idled... I can find no adjustment with it from 3 1/2 turns out (which is where it sounds like it will die) and turned all the way in where it doesn't start to die if I pull the throttle open quickly. What does this mean?
