Starting problem 200 GY 5 <Pics on page 2>

I think this is only my second or third post here but so far you guys have been amazing. After I took everyones suggestions about my earlier issues the bike has been SO much fun to ride. It's sturdy, its getting faster EVERY time I ride it and its really a great bike for the price. I am 100% happy with the purchase (even if it breaks tomorrow!)

I have one last issue which will put to bed my "new bike" problems.

I did the c-clip mod (and now the bike idles much better). but the bike will still not start right away. Infact, I have to turn the idle screw a good amount in (making the "idle" higher) just to get the bike to start. When it does, the idle stays nice and low until it warms up. Once it warms up I constantly have to stop and pull the idle back. when its at full operating temp I am atleast three full turns away from where I started off.

Once its warmed up fully and the idle is set properly (1500rpm) the bike will start VERY easily and goes right into a very nice idle.

If it cools off, i have to turn the idle screw back in. If it's completely cold I have to go back to position 1 on the idle screw (3 turns back in) and repeat the process of backing the idle screw out as the bike gets warmer.

This can't be how they intended the bike to run can it? The Idle screw works much better then the choke (which seems to have absolutely no effect on starting the bike when cold or warm. it just slows idle and kills th engine..any thoughts here?)
