These little engines normally warm up in the 1,500 to 3,000 rpm range, not chugging along at 1,000.
The lever was all the way forward, I'll double check the linkage to make sure everything is sitting right.

As for the idle speed knob, I set it when the bike was up to temperature a couple days ago. One shouldn't have to advance the idle with this knob every time it's started cold.

And yes, in the video I did close the choke when it was still cold, understandably it cut out.
