I think you should try a new plug, the symptom you describe does point towards a glow plug problem, its also a good idea to replace the plug after break-in.

Is it still too rich?

And it DOES sound like you need a new plug.

sounds like the low speed needle needs to be leaned out a bit..The next time you are going to run your car before you adjust the needle start the car,leave ignitor on,hold car in the air & give it gas really clear it out,then take ignitor off see if it stays running longer this means the low speed is too rich & loading the engine up..Also change the plug after you adjust your needles..Good luck
