I'll try that. I also have one mag and a Plasma III.

Mine idles at 800 with the mag and Rose EI on and 600 on the mag only. For short field I'll shut off the EI once I commit to land and this solved the engine quitting problem I had with everything turned down to 600 or so. This is on a IO-360 btw.

Same with me. When it slows down below 50 kts I need to give it a little gas or the engine quits.

David a real need for V's is an idle rpm much nearer 600 or even lower. The difference in landing distance between an idle of 800 and 600 is astounding!
I actually set mine for 600-550, which is spec. I have to be careful after landing when the roll out slows to below 50 knots to give the throttle a quick blip as sometimes the engine may stop, but I put up with that as it really shortens the landing distance.
