You are correct.
The leaning before taxi was something I was taught during training, for whatever reason... it never appeared on the checklists, and therefore the only mentioning is the "full rich" when starting, and "set mixture" before take off.
I'll have to review my procedures, and just follow the checklists more strictly.
