Tips for front derailler adjustment?

Campy Super Record clamp-on front derailler on Campy SR 52/42 chainrings. recently I tore the bike down completely, including removing the derailler. I remounted it following the advice on Park's website, leaving about 1mm clearance between the bottom of the outside flange and the chainwheel, and the flange is parallel to the chainwheel (can't remember exactly how it was originally!). I seem to be having trouble going from 42 to 52, none at all the other way. It helps if I only pedal lightly while shifting, but still it might take 2 or even 3 seconds of chattering before it climbs aboard.

Any suggestions? I know that I said I like primitive in another thread, but it seems to me that it was better before the overhaul.
