Did you adjust the choke to full open? If not, the little bell-crank for fast idle will be up on the cam for increased idle speed. Loosen the three small screws on the black plastic choke housing and rotate it until the choke butterfly is open, be sure and hold the throttle open a small amount at the same time. The engine sounds good!

Sounds like you got that pesky problem cleared up.
And your right "You don't need no stinkin choke"

If you decide to rewire it, correct, don't use the coil circuit.
Two reasons. It's unfused and you may not be getting your full 12 volts if there is a resistor inline.
Find a switched 12 volt circuit.
