Screw in the high idle speed screw so it comes into play sooner. That helped my car out a bit. Still isn't going to do anything with richening it up, but it might reduce your pedal pumping excercises.

How far down do you have the mixture screws? I finally found the push pin whatever things that lift the piston today, and my car wants to die almost as soon as I lift either of them when it's fully warmed up. So I turned the mixture screws in another 1/4 turn, so I think about 2.75 turns down for both, and now it seems too rich, but doesn't bog at all. Meh, it'll stay here.
