Cut out at idle

Just to add a few comments to this discussion. I have a 2002 O2 and had the same issues. I took the plane to TCM and had the adjust the fuel settings twice. All settings were adjusted correctly, but the problem continued. It only happened after a +1 hour flight and only after landing.  Another problem developed where the engine would not shut down after pulling the mixture. It would kind of diesel and keep running at the ramp. The corrective action for this was a rebuild of the spider valve on top of the engine. This correction fixed both issues and it has been almost 2 years since either has presented itself. When I am back at the hangar, I will double check if there was any other work done at the same time.

That is also the cheapest item to replace in the system and should be done first if having any problems.
