Yes, I agree that my supposing that the open ISV caused "lean" running was
incorrect. That was also pointed out by someone else a few days ago on the
Qlist.

Anyway, I am still searching for the cause of the engine stumbling when
initially taking off after a cold (summertime) start-up. The problem
vanishes very soon thereafter, but it's a nuisance to get going smoothly
for the first few yards.
