I can confirm that Ken's procedure applies to an ellison throttle body as well. My first engine idle was set to 1000 RPM which was too high, the airplane will not land. Currently running around 700 RPM on a GPAS engine.
The other thing is, with change in season (temperature/humidity) you will find yourself readjusting the ellison carb. And also, I haven't found out how high the humidity has to be but there is a certain point where it gets very hard to start the engine in extremely high humidity conditions (wet snow, rain,...)

When the temps drop outside be sure to use carb heat, these things will ice up, then you bend the spring inside. When that happens the carb stays at almost full power and you gotta kill the mill to land.
