Mine has exhibited that for years but even in warmer temps.

Connected it and fired right up, perfect idle.

I would start there, it's a 10 minute check.
You are very lucky!

That is an interesting point. Crazy you went through that and discovered that. In my mind, that is the only thing that can cause this oscillation of fuel delivery.
