Make sure your throttle end points are correct as well.

Another factor is how do you store your engine at the end of the day? Do you pinch the fuel line in order to let the engine clean itself out, or stop the flywheel and store it? If the latter, fuel will evaporate inside the engine leaving the oil only. Thus why you need to blip the throttle when starting as it needs to clean out.
I plug the exhaust ever time i stop it. idle gap is 0.6mm now thinking about it i do run the low end a little rich so that might be it.
