	I still think your mixture maybe too rich, here are the clues: 'skips',
when cold starting it will not idle, runs good after warm, I had all the
same signs and they all went away after I adjusted the mixture.  A sure
way to check is to take out the plugs and see what color the deposits
are.  Brown (kinda rustic to dark brown) is correctly set mixture, were
as black sooty deposits mean carbonation (too much fuel not enough air)
I would check that first.  The car will run all right when warm even
when the mixture is too rich.
