Any AutoZone, Advanced Auto, O'Reilly's or Walmart has Seafoam. Which Stabil did you use? One is a stabilizer and the other a stabilizer/cleaner ethanol treatment.

Once I had it warmed up and back in my driveway (in neutral), I would rev it up to ~6,000 rpm and then close the throttle. When the tach came back down, it would drop to about 1,400RPM and then slowly rise up to 2,500RPM over the next 15-20 seconds. That's with the choke closed. It didn't sound like it was about to die or anything though. Throttle reactions were quick and not sporadic or abnormal by any means.
You should have set the idle where it came back down to and was steady.

It's not a group, but a few of us will hook up and ride whenever. I think Old Guy on a '08 (Chris) is riding on Monday and I was riding on Friday. We may find a day to hook up. BTW, say hello over in the New Member Section.
