Eric,
on the SUs, mixture enrichment and fast idle are adjustable independently.
So you should run your car until the engine is completely warm, then
adjust the regular idle to spec.
Next time the engine is cold, you can adjust fast idle relative to choke
mixture so that the engine idles at an acceptabel speed when the choke is
completely pulled with a cold engine.
