You should really find the service manual that covers this carb,
and go through the settings one by one.

The choke spring setting should be within one notch of factory setting. 

The fast idle is adjustable separately.

No offense meant, but I think you make things more complicated
for yourself than you need to. My suggestion is to fix one
thing at a time.

It's cold out; set the choke and fast idle. You'll be happier
every morning. Ignore the problems below until this is working.

A lot of settings interact; so if you adjust many at once
symptoms interact and will be hard to untangle.
