I have a 63 dream that idles nice and slow when cold
and then gets a perfect rpm when warm.
After it gets nice and hot, especially on a real warm day,
it will rev pretty high in neutral, but not when I start out.
Float? I doe know!

Pretty common on most any bike. I set the idle when warm not cold. Takes a bit more attention and possibly throttle holding when you start it but you don't have a higher idle later on.
