Wandering idle, stalling

Thumper · 10-28-2022, 10:06 AM

My newer 2022 and 1/2 Templar X has a drifting idle speed. And has a tendency to stall. I can defeat this by raising the idle (the stalling).

My guess is an intake leak. I was initially thinking float bowl level, but that doesn't make sense for the symptoms really.

The OEM smoothbore card runs great across the throttle range. I did bump pilot and main one step. When it was warm out, it started instantly with one touch, and 1/8th. throttle. Now that it is cold, it needs a bit of choke to start. The symptoms seem worse. This makes sense if too much air is getting in... Leaky intake.

Any other ideas??
