Could also check float bowl fuel levels using the clear tube test. Might be too high and causing excessive richness.
Do brand new plugs make any difference?
With plugs removed, what is visually observed spark quality?
Has compression been tested, and are valve clearances to specs?
Good Luck!

If not already done, try cold start with choke full on and without even touching the throttle.

Is starting with full chock and no throttle an indicator of carb problems?

I recall reading that pods interfere with the proper operation of the stock choke system. YMMVany way it hase pod air filters also.

As known, even perfect carbs can't compensate for deficiencies in compression, ignition, float bowl fuel level, ample clean fuel supply, or ample clean air supply.
Good Luck!

Enrichener circuit is designed to function with throttle slides fully closed.
Good Luck!
Glad to hear my bike is acting normal. I worried as past bikes worked with the choke and throttle. I'll stop trying to twist the throttle while starting.
