Update... I enrichened the mixture which helped a little, but I believe the issue I was having had more to do with heat. The engine stumble and die issue I was experiencing was occurring after ground ops where the engine was really warm. I think there was some fuel vaporization causing an even leaner mixture. I flew the airplane for first flight today with no related issues after a proper (but brief) run-up. The engine idles nicely and seems happy at ~630-650 rpm.
