Carb problems on my new 250

I just got a new LF250. It came in a box. After assembling it, I had a hard time getting the thing started. Pulled the spark plugs. The gap was a bit narrow. Re-gapped them. Finally got it started, but it won't idle without choke. I've tried to adjust the one adjustment on the carb. The bike just dies at idle speed. When I'm riding and I release the throttle, the bike literally dies. I give it gas, is bogs down and jumps forward as it catches. Once I have the throttle open a bit, the throttle responds well. Just can't run it at an idle.

Any suggestions on curing my carb woes????

I want to ride my bike!!!
