i would start with the cleaning the carb. That is my guess.

Run the bike in choke mode all the time.

does this just make the fuel ratio richer, is it a permanent fix?

I wouldn't consider it to be a permanent fix. I'd consider it a half assed hack.

It makes it richer but not consistently richer across the band. I wouldnt even accept it as a half * hack.

would pulling the throttle needle up solve the problem?

The needle clip also only affects a certain band. The lower you put it, the richer at medium speed.
