5 turns out on idle screw is a lot. when you're inside the carb, take a look at when the screw contacts the slide. it's closer to 3 turns out till it even contacts the slide. yours may be slightly different, but i've never been able to go more than 3.5 turns out and contact the slide.
the symptoms you describe generally point to: too high of a float, float needle failure, or possibly plugged vent/overflow lines. make sure the overflow line is clear, and if carb dribbles fuel out overflow when on side stand, float level is too high.
