Extra 300 Engine stoppage

We'll that got your attention so let me explain. The engine is good as gold in the air but has a nasty habit on the ground (when hot at sortie end) of dying when you advance the throttle from idle.

Someone suggested a "rich cut" so I have tried leaning back on the ground but now and again it will still do it. For context yesterdays cut was after 1 hour of flying... temps and pressures in mid green. A long runway backtrack then at idle for 20 or 30 secs as I negotiated a tight entry through hangar gates and then back on the throttle to a nice soft stoppage... just as if i had pulled the mixture...

Most odd, though no doubt the experts will educate me!
