Perfect. I will try that.

This system has never run to my complete satisfaction. Maybe the ballast resistor has been on it's way out for a while?

Will give this a try and if that does not work, look into the fuel side... although it does seems to stall more like a ignition problem than running too rich.

Thanks Brian, nicely put
