I have an Atomic II. When I drop to idle speed, it will stall when warm. When I hear it start to sputter, I have been able to TURN OFF the fuel pump, and it will revive again. I can run like this for about 5 minutes and before it starves and I have to TURN ON the fuel pump to fill the chamber. At a higher speeds, it will run all day without any trouble, but at idle speed I suspect that my fuel pump overdrives the carburator.... not sure, but this little technique prevents it from stalling just as I am approaching a landing! I am now looking for a replacement fuel pump. Suggestions? Joy
