Default Fast Idle RPM with Enricher

Can the enricher be adjusted to increase the idle speed at cold start-up? With my enricher pulled all the way out, it idles at 1000 rpm, same as my warm engine idle speed. Fast idle spec in the manual says 1500 rpm. I just dont see any way to adjust it.

My cable has a boot over the adjustment, pull it back and make sure chock closed at full pull.
One click inward idle increases to around 1500 rpm... Should only be left on for thirty seconds anyway, close choke and lock throttle at1500 to warm up...

I dont see the "click" you are referring to.

My CV does the same ****, usually in the summer time it will get its *** on up to 1500 right away with the choke on. I really only grab the choke to get it started, and close it and hold the throttle at 1500 within the first 5 seconds.

That's exactly what I do. And mine really only wants the choke on cold mornings.

Pull the choke, thumb the starter, hold it at 1500 ish while slowly closing the choke. Spin the little wheel to hold her there while I gear up, then we're rolling.

I do the same thing but, I think it should idle faster with the choke pulled than it currently does.

If it starts and you can idle up with the throttle then set the throttle lock I don't really see the problem.

You want the choke on as little time as possible.
