I don’t know of an adjustment for the idle per se, only the slack adjustment. Others more knowledgeable than I should chime in.

Sounds like you indeed adjusted in the correct direction. I am surprised that the idle is lower. I would have expected a higher idle if any idle change at all.
Is the cable physically tighter now?

It is but I need to take the intake off so I can see the actual opening position. It's running short on the adjustment. Maybe 3/4 inch left.
