    Yes, I meant richen it out 1/8th turn. But, all engines are different, so go ahead and try the high speed needle at its peak RPM and see what happens.
    Perhaps you choke linkage is messed up causing the choke to be/stay fully closed while cranking. I don’t know if the orientation makes a difference in the choke knob, but a worn/missing grommet will surely cause problems when starting cold.
