Idles but wont rev up

I've been playing with this thing for a couple of days now, it's an 05 with only 560 miles on it and it wasn't running. I've replaced the fuel, replaced the spark plug and taken the carb off and disassembled it and cleaned it 4 times now and it will now fire up and idle but as soon as you touch the throttle it bogs down and dies. Even if you try turning it ever so slightly it just dies. I've tried adjusting the mixture screw and that doesn't do anything, I've worked on lot's of bike and never had any be so stubborn... what am I missing?
