I've adjusted mine by waiting for a cool morning (when you need it most), and pulling the throttle open and adjusting the spring cup tighter just until you see the butterfly nearly fully closed, but open a hair. Vacuum should give you some flexibility once the engine turns over, and once heat plays its role, it will have an easy time returning to hot-run condition.
Edit: Also note the condition as it's heating, the air horn flap and heat/electrical to the choke cup,etc. It's definitely a hand-tuned thing.
