Hi Mike,
My experience is that on a completely cold engine, (overnight) if it
will start without a choke, the mixture is a bit too rich. Maybe the jet
adjusting nuts could be leaned a bit or the choke linkage isn't
completely releasing. (Jets not returning to their full up position
when the cable is released.) Not a serious problem as long as you are
happy with the way it runs.
