I think you are right on. My 960 has always run rough after a few days of no use. It seems that when it was new it took a week or so, now with the miles that it has, it does only take about 2 days. If I park it on Friday and not use it until Monday morning it reacts just the way you describe. It may be a combination of wear in the lifters and sticking valves. I think the valves are most likely the cause.
