Before you even think that the problem might be with the fuel system be sure the ignition system is correct - timing, dwell, and advance.
Some try to correct ignition system problems by changing the fuel system to compensate ie by changing the idle speed and or mixture.
START BY ENSURING THAT THE IGNITION SYSTEM IS CORRECT.
After the ignition system is correct then try adjusting the idle speed\mixture.
If you can't achieve a satisfactory idle then rebuild the carburetor.
