Yup down here on the TX coast on an island called Galveston. I removed the plug myself. I then tightened the adjustment screw all the way closed, and then began working my way out .5 turns at a time, all the while listening to the motors response. In between 2 and 2.5 CCW turns, the hiccups stopped and the idle slightly increased and leveled out. I wasn't able to take her for a ride due to weather. Hopefully I'll be able to this weekend.

I agree- the fact that I live in a warmer climate should result in easier cold starts. That's why I feel that the constant need for the choke is an indication of a poorly tuned engine. I've owned multiple carb engines and I've never needed this much choke. Heck I don't even know where the choke on my lawnmower is lol!
