In my case, the big difference in idle speed between cold and hot and the fact that it has started stumbling with under slight choke was NOT normal.

I finally got around to checking the idle mixture adjustment today (the one that is usually covered by a plug) and found it WAY out of adjustment. I'm guessing it was turned out maybe 5 turns; at first, I thought I didn't have the screwdriver in the slot but it finally bottomed. Turned it back about 2 turns and everything is much smoother now....idle wise. It turned really easy; I'm wondering if it might have vibrated itself out of adjustment over time ??? Time will tell, I guess.
