With mine, that would have made it race unbearably fast after about 20 seconds or so and would made me nervous even if nothing bad really happened.

If you really need the choke all the way operated to get it started, you probably have other issues that need to be addressed. Mine never required more than about half (except the first start in the spring) and even that for only about 20 seconds or so. After that, it did require a tad bit to keep the idle speed up for the first 5 minutes or 5 miles or so.

So, my advice: Don't choke it so much and don't let the idle speed race while it is warming up.
