It sounds like you're right on top of it. The behavior you are describing is very consistent with a fuel supply obstruction, most likely in the carb.

Shawn,
The LiFePO4 chemistry has a nominal cell voltage of 3.2v per cell. Thus, a pack of 4 series cells has a nominal voltage of 12.8V

It appears to be pulsing up to ~14.4 V and then drifting back to ~ 13.1 V. Could this be how it implements Float mode? Normal float voltage is between 13.2 and 13.8, with 13.5 being commonly used. ...
