With his (A&P's) lighter weight with his solo flight it obtained enough fuel But when we flew with us both (I weigh in at approx 220 lbs) my extra weight during climb out with the extra load factor it could not obtain proper fuel flow to float bowl causing RPM drop to temporarly appear. As soon as we leveled out and reduced engine load we regained lost RPM's A slight chance it may relate to your problem. Be worth checking your carb's needle The tech at Aircraft Systems says it was not to have had a neoprene tip, due to those specfic problems, as neoprene has tendency to exspand when it ages, and or dry out and possible develope crack(s) or pitting.
