Default LS5 idle rough until engine warms up

Lately when starting LS5 up. Idles rough with choke on until it warms up. After warms up and choke off. It's okay.
Any suggestions

Is the choke adjusted too tight?
Is the choke pull off working?

Default Choke

Thanks. 1st thing this morning I pulled the air cleaner off and noticed choke flap closed. Will adjust it to at least 1/8 or more open when it starts. Thought about that when I started my tractor and left the choke on. Running rough.
Thanks
Ted
