Final Approach
Got a little troubleshooting to do here.
The airplane is a 1946 Globe Swift with a 180HP lycoming and CS prop. Has GAMI injectors and an engine monitor (MVP 50). Idles poorly below about 1100 RPM on the ground. When you pull the throttle back in the pattern for a power off landing, you can hear it pop and fart a little bit.
Right now my best guess is the idle circuit is set improperly. But I don't know enough about the injection system on these, to know if this would be a possibility.
The injectors seem to be relatively clog free and it will run okay (smooth with maybe a hint of roughness) at 20 degrees LOP. Passes a mag check with minimal drop. Passes the GAMI lean test with about .3 GPH from the first cylinder peak to last cylinder peak.
