Turning the screw way out makes the mixture lean, so the problem must be the carb is too rich.
check all the jets were installed correctly when the carb was cleaned
make sure the carb float bowl is not flooding.
Check the fuel tap is working correctly.
make certain the airfilter is clean.
check the engine has correct amount of clean oil( not fuel contaminated)

TTR 125 - 2007 Won't start

If the engine 'pops and farts' quite a bit, it would be that the carb is getting too much fuel, but since you said it did that just a couple times, I would guess it is a plugged line or bad gas or someone has adjusted your fuel mixture screw. You also said that the engine died as soon as you touched the throttle which says it is getting too much fuel. Try taking the gas tank and carb off and see if the fuel flows through it. If you have no issues with that, adjust your mixture screw. You may need to find help on how to adjust the mixture, but you can count how many turns it takes to seat the mixture screw down snug. DO NOT OVERTIGHTEN THE SCREW. Write this number down, you will need it in case you can't get it to crank. Now, turn the screw out 3 full turns and try to crank it several times. If it will not start, turn it 1/2 turn and try again. Continue this until it cranks and then adjust until the engine runs smoothly. It really sounds like you are getting too much fuel. Did you see or smell any gas at the exhaust?
