Ugggghhh! that thought occurred to me.
Yep tightened all connections . Need to talk to Don at AFP. My impression has been
these units do not accumulate ice, but as I look back the engine was acting
just like it had carb ice.
It was -8degC at 13,ooo that day and due to my induction air routing my intake
air is anywhere from 20-30 degF warmer than ambient.
That would have put my intake air at the throttle body in the freezing range.

Could very well be an icing issue. I'll be anxious to hear what the folks
at AFP have to say.

I know the M-14P carb version is susceptible to carb ice. Several years ago,
Bob Hoyt who owned the original Pitts 12 N80XP at the time, tried to fly it
from his home near Portland, OR to Sun-N-Fun. He picked up so much carb ice
trying to get across the Cascades in late March that he almost ended up
deadsticking in, and barely got it back home. I remember him telling me it
was pretty scary since he didn't have a mixture control to try to lean it
out to attempt the backfire remedy. It took quite awhile after he got to the
lower altitudes before it started running ok again.
