Spray start gas around the carb. Especialy att the Rubber intake boot. And see if it revs up, if it does, it shouldnt! U have an airleakI've just done that. It keeps running with the fuel screw wound all the way in. How much play is acceptable in the slide? It can move up and down a little when it's in the idle position.
so you wound it in when I said to wind it out? aha......????
if with the screw all the way in the PJ is too big

Remove the slide and clean it out, check for any rough surface on the slide and inside the carb. Yes when you turn the screw in it should drop and out will bring up idle but this should not give random idle problems as high idle to low idle and vise versa. It sounds like your slide is not returning and a broken spring and or weak spring can cause this. Checking for a air leak it is recommended to use propane such as a torch without flame and move it around to see if idle changes, starting fluid runs very hot when ignited and can cause damage if you have a large leak area. Do you see any gas running out of the vent tubes when running?
that main jet....look closely, it may be a 162 but 152 is borderline. I and a bunch of Suzuki DR lads from Colarado are the only ones to get down to 152MJ as I'm aware of?
try a 42PJ and have a 40 on stand by as i think it would like the 40 as well.
