2003 40hp Johnson

I have 2003 40 hp Johnson won't idle so I cleaned the carburetors now it will idle for just a second and die I can choke it and get it to start back but no idle any ideal what might be wrong I put new plugs in it new gas fuel filter checked the compression I have 90 on both cylinders
 
Does it have idle mixture screws? If so, what was your initial setting?

Many of them start at 2 or 2-1/2 turns out from lightly seated.

Start opening the mixture screws by 1/4 turn at a time until it idles, then tune it in from there.
