It will idle as low as 500, the things a tractor! I will check the plugs, that's something I didn't expect, putting an open exhaust on it and being too rich...ahahaha

dude, 700 is a very low idle.  Mine would stall if it were idling that low.

If I were you I wouldn't worry about it, although you might want to check your plugs to make sure you aren't running too rich.

By cold I mean hasn't been running for like a day. I started it up today, about 24h since last time I had it running. Pulled the choke and it fired up instantly. Idled around 1500 with the choke on and about 700 with it off right after it was warm enough to do so. Does it sound fixed?

You have to remove the carbs and bend a tab.  Details and pics are in the MacGregor carb cleaning manual.

By cold, do you mean when it's really cold outside, or when the engine hasn't been running for a while.

There is no reason why you wouldn't use the choke to start the bike when the engine hasn't been running for a while.  If you don't need to then you're probably running too rich.
