If your mixture screw doesn't affect the idle, then your throttle stop screw is adjusted out too far.
Adjust the throttle stop screw, until the rpms drop, and engine barely runs.
Then, slowly turn your mixture screw out, until the rpms don't rise anymore, then go back in 1/2 turn.
Now set the throttle stop screw to the desired rpm.
These adjustments will not affect mileage, only idle characteristics. If mileage is an issue, you may need to run a smaller primary jet.
