it could be possible that you have a head leak, that could cause un even mixtures and mess with idle. when the engine gets warm it expands. could seal up when it gets warm? i dont know im just throwing a long shot out there.
Have you tried adjusting the throttle cable? Cables do stretch over time.
Did you put all the settings back to factory or where they were on the carb?
If everything is fine except for the idle, adjust thr throttle cable about a 1/4 turn or were it feels right. good to go.
