You're right that out of spec valves make these engines run badly, especially when cold. But being able to do a cold start without using the enricher may mean you have the pilot screws set a little too rich. Did you adjust them for fastest idle?
Forgot to say that months ago I was having issues and cleaned the carbs and I had the bike running like that. I had the screws out quite a bit but the bike was idling perfect for the first time in 7 years. And I was able to cold start without the choke. Just needed to give it gas, which I was also never able to do. Always needed the choke the whole time I’ve owned the bike, and whenever I tried to give it gas it would die. Then it was the opposite until it took a crap suddenly and has been the way it’s been now.
