Started it! Still excited to have it running.
I'm motivated by this recent thread on adjusting divorced chokes and setting fast idle:

Mine needs work but there's hope. The choke coil and linkage is pulling the choke closed:
The fast idle cam pulls the throttle off the idle screw:
The pull-off opens the choke when it starts:
And the choke opens after it warms up.
All good compared to where I've been stuck!
