I'm jumping in halfway the story so maybe my answer is not fully to  
the point but here goes. How does the engine start when warm and with  
a fully open choke? My experience is that ,when warm, the car should  
start fine on the idle circuit only without touching the gas pedal.  
The conclusion I've drawn from that is that other parts (choke, main,  
acceleration circuits) are only necessary for their specific  
function. The should not be adjusted to help the car start on a  
norman warm engine. If that is not the case one would suspect you're  
idle mixture circuit is not operating as it should. That might also  
explain why you can get it started properly with starting fluid, it's  
the bit extra fuel it needs.
