My engines run good enough to fly most of my planes but there is some compromising wrt throttle stick speed. When I speed up the fuel channel I can advance the throttle quickly with good transition but when I advance the throttle more slowly the engine leans at the dip in the curve. Vice versa if I slow down the fuel channel. There seems to be no happy medium wrt to fuel channel speed unless I slow the throttle over 1.5 sec.

That's all well and good for my high wings and warbirds but is not quite good enough for my 3D birds where throttling must be quick and predictable.

Bert, have you found any advantage in running behaviour using the solenoid in tandem with a reground throttle barrel? Wouldn't mechanically eliminating most of the dip in the curve solve the issue?
