Strange thing happened twice now when shutting down from a flight. Idle in towards hangar after taxiing at about 2000 rpm's for 2 minutes, idle back to 1800 rpm's before shutdown, then off avionics, off Ignition A, off Ignition B, off master. Instead of immediately coming to a halt as normal, the engine continued to stumble on very roughly. Not sure what to do, I pulled the choke out and it finally rotated to a stop. First time it did it about 3 weeks ago, I thought maybe bad ground on one of the ignitions. So I took off the top cowl, checked all the connections on both modules and followed ground wires to eventual source to confirm all is tight. All good. Taxi to run up to check for normal rpm drop/delta of both ignitions; all good. Flew since first instance 4 times now with no more issues on shut down. Sunday flew to KTVL for breakfast with the better half and again....stumble on shut down; had to engage choke to get it shut down. After breakfast, started up fine, flew back home, same issue on shut down at home hangar.
Instinctively; I think I know what you guys are going to tell me to do; but thought it best to describe in detail what I experienced first.
Advice and direction is greatly appreciated!
