tune up an carb 500 miles

Well,
my Jingausu gator 50 qmb136 scooter needed a new carburetor. I have just over 450 miles and had a no idle/stall issue replacing the carb fixed that. I got a new fuel filter & spark plug, a good one (NGK) my scooter had a cheap one houck? So had that replaced. I had all the fluids changed as well. Then took it for a 40-mile ride and what a difference. It idles, runs, accelerates so much better.
I had this done 2 weeks ago. I notice 1 issue and that is on a cold start I don't get that fast idle like I used to. BUT it starts 1st try and runs so much better. I don't let it sit more than 4 days or so without running it a few miles.

The scooter is garaged & never driven in rain. I wonder if being in Florida may be why I don't get that fast idle? Although the other scooter always had that fast idle when I let it sit a couple of days. It has been quite warm lately. I also checked that the high idle plug is in & tight, I even took it out & reseated it

I wonder if it is anything to be concerned about. It sure runs alot better.

New carb at 400 miles though? gee.
