2006 Buddy 125 idle issue

OKAY so I FINALLY got the Buddy 125 running (thanks for all your help everyone!) So now it's time to tackle an issue I've been having since I got the bike: it just does NOT want to idle properly. When it's started cold, it will sputter out before you've even got your helmet strapped on. If you progressively give it gas, it stays idling for longer, but it still sputters out if the engine hasn't fully warmed up yet. Still runs but it's really annoying... so if it's idling REALLY low when starting cold, I'll open up the engine access and tighten the throttle .5 to 1 turns and that usually helps. The problem is, if you do that, after you're riding for 10 mins or so and it's nice and warm, when you stop at a light it idles so high that the bike tries to run away! I can't tell if it's just a matter of me not finding the sweet spot on the throttle screw, or if there is some other issue causing the problem. As usual, any help is greatly appreciated!!
