I wouldn't play with that screw just yet.

The fuel shouldn't come up when there is no air flow going across the plate.

As soon as the engine is cranked air gets drawn across this plate (because the engine behaves like an air pump) and the setting should be about right.

I think you are going to be better off testing the cold start valve before fiddling with that screw. (After doing the vacuum hose checks as mentioned above)
