1/4 turn of a full rotation and see if that doesn't help.Take note of its position before you try loosing the holding nut because the nut can sometimes stick to the idle screw and when trying to loosen the nut the idle screw will turn also, same as tighten the nut, even though the small screw driver is holding the idle screw the nut can force the screw clockwise when tightening.
try not to tighten so tight you unintentionally break the idle screw. That's all it sounds like it needs (idle is stable just a little high)
