You only want leanest level at higher elevations such as my area at 4500 ft above sea level...Higher elevation=less air density.
You are -16 feet below sea level...Lower elevation=richer air density.
You need to reset your needle valve to at least the center notch...Run the engine for a bit and re-adjust the idle screw once it is warmed up fully.
If spark plug is over a year old, just replace it with an NGK-B6HS plug, gapped at 25 thousandths of an inch.
This should hopefully help your situation with maintaining an idle...DAMIEN
