Maybe my problem is that I can't get it to idle very well below about 2000 rpm.  

Tearing the engine apart may help me solve that problem though.  I noticed that rotor 1 is dry with a white-yellow coating while rotor 2 is dark and wet.  Its time to have the injectors checked, but at least I know which rotor is running too lean.
