Yes I have adjusted the choke idle screw and feel its in a good spot for cold starting. I does cold start really well, it just take a LONG time for the choke to disengage, and even fully disengaged it can still just barely catch the throttle, keeping it in fast idle.
So I’m wondering when you say long time to disengage. The choke will not automatically disengage, you have to tap the throttle to release the pressure so it’ll fall off the cam. Text is hard to communicate sometimes so not sure if you meant with or without giving it throttle
