Classic case of too-lean idle mixture, Russ.  The solution is to remove the
carbs, remove the anti-tamper plugs, and adjust the idle mixture screws.  For
stock exhaust and stock air cleaner the screws should be set 2-1/2 to 3 turns
out from lightly seated.  I use 2-1/2 for stock exhaust and 3 for aftermarket
exhaust.

While you're in there, you should shim the needles.  Easily done.

These two adjustments make a huge difference in driveability.

When the temperature is 50F or so in the morning, my '01 SVS warms up in about
one block...
