I have a good set here, at a lot better price, but it would have to 
be local pickup. I have no idea how I could ship these successfully.

The AAR has NO effect on richness. It only effects idle speed. The 
checks you've done on the AAR indicate that it's fine.

I haven't watched your video yet, but if things even out once the 
engine is warm, you might take a look at the spark plugs and check 
the system voltage, although the latter is probably fine since it 
gets better with warmup.
