For the most part yes, but it still is going to take a little more tuning to be spot on. It starts great, has terrific throttle response, and the fuel economy is okay but not as good as I think it should be (though that wasn't really one of the initial expectations anyway). Yesterday it started doing a little bit of idle surge at start-up which went away with a quick blip of the throttle, so some command is off just a bit probably. I'm not much of a techie guy, so experimentation will be part of the game.

Mine does that too, Bob, and I can hear the idle air controller "sipping" in time with the surge, but a throttle blip generally makes it go away immediately other than on a very cold day when it may have to warm up for a few minutes to settle into a clean idle.

Greg mentioned that idle "sipping" noise too.........apparently my propeller induced hearing impairment can't detect that sound. I haven't had enough operating cycles to detect any repeatable pattern of behavior yet so I guess time will tell.
