Good, don't touch it then! Take note of your air filter condition too, as
the carb is sensitive to that.
Glad your rich condition was adjustable (see your post of the 14th).

With the plugs looking good, and having an intermittant problem, I would
hesitate to recommend touching that mixture screw. Instead I would
recommend checking for air/vacuum leaks (the old spray test is a good one)
and looking for other things. For example, is the vacuum retard diaphragm
working consistantly? How are those plugs, wires, and dizzy cap? Is the
rough idle only when the engine RPMs are extra low? Done a valve
adjustment/compression test recently?
Good luck,
