I have been hesitant to post this video because some might get the wrong idea that it runs bad not knowing how a cold engine affects running, and since the accelerator pump is disabled it is sluggish during accel.
In the video you see it cold start using the enrichener then accelerating is very sluggish. That sluggishness and hesitation is NOT there even in the slightest once warmed as seen in earlier video's.
Also notice that on one quick acceleration it almost died, but quickly recovered.

After 15-20 seconds or so, the engine speed can be raised to 2000 rpm or so then throttle locked and enrichener turned off.
Let run at a fast idle for a couple minutes, then the throttle lock can be released so it drops to a slow idle and riden.
