You are now on Easy Street!
Fix that throttle cable and you will be able to warm up your engine with the throttle cable out a smidgen and the choke knob all the way in as described in the Operator's Manual. No more over-rich condition.
Since it runs fine once warmed up, I'll bet the flapper valve is stuck in the closed position. That is a livable situation for now.
