You must have had to stop and start again, since you were climbing. Bad AFM causes random cutouts (vanagon syndrome). I don't really know that conditions contribute much, but I'd expect it more likely under strain. but, bad AFM usually causes rich, not lean, running. But, why am I not letting the experts get in their thoughts. What do I know? Not much. David McNeely |
