I keep thinking that the high idle has something to do with it. And that air continues to cause a lean condition - perhaps explaining why the idle mixture adjustment has little effect.
Good to hear the injectors are working properly - that eliminates them as a cause too.
The other thing that can cause a rough idle ( but not the fast idle ) is valve clearances that are too tight. Anything less than .012 will make the idle lumpy, but affect nothing else.
