A little air in the fuel lines?
Nothing boring about the first run! Or should I say, it should be boring - else expensive.

Mark,
I know you have AFP injection, can't tell if you have the purge valve.
On start, I get a stumble after light off unless initial prime is perfect. I am still fussing with it after 137 hours. Latest prime is 6-7 seconds and that works well most of the time. There are so many variables, like throttle position, OAT, etc.
I believe the issue is AFP controller finding its brain re air/fuel mixture and flow. Once it gets it's act together engine runs smooth until shut down.
