was the physical position of the throttle a little more forward than what is
normal for 1000rpm?

Yes.


sounds like something was keeping the engine from running normally when
first started and it took some throttle to get it to idle at 1000rpm... was
it idling rough at what you had set?

Not rough in the sense of vibrating unusally. It just sounded a little,
ih, weak...hard to describe.

could have been injectors.. would not
think that would clear that fast and evenly.. could have been "bad gas" in
the line that worked it's way through.. but that too I would think to cause
the engine to "sputter" and not idle
