Default Another BME 110 question

I have some things Im curious about with my 110.

1. Right after startup when warming up the engine I will let it sit and just idle for about 20-30 seconds before I touch the throttle. Then I slowly ease the throttle up to about 1/2 throttle and let it sit a sec, then it will not respond from about 1/2 to 3/4 throttle. At that point it will sortof miss a couple of times and then suddenly jump to 3/4 thottle or wherever I have the throttle set at. Once you let it clear its throat at full throttle for about 10 seconds it is good to go.

Then on landing I switch to a lower idle to bring it in, at the lower idle setting ( just low enough to slow it down and get it on the ground) it idles rough and the throttle response is a little jumpy. If you turn it into the wind and takeoff again it will sputter momentarily but once it clears its throat on takeoff it is good to go again. During flight I have a higher idle speed and the engine runs flawlessly.

Anyone else experiencing anything like this??
