there is a small brass colored screw on teh bottom of the carb. it will be hard to see because it is behind the idle adjustment. if you turn that out 1/4 of a turn, that may help the problem.

if it goes away when its warm i would say its fine, my rappy does same thing. Pull the plug and see what color it is. Mine is tan.
