Could be you just have a very low draft at idle in this weather. The baro doesn't move because the draft isn't going above what it's set for. We need a nice windy day.
Do you have a working CO detector in the house near where the stove is located?
Describe the chimney please. Tall/short, chimney block/other, flue size, etc.

After speaking to leisure line they seem to think issue is stove minimum feed. With warmer weather I need to turn feed so low to keep temperature in house down I'm losing draft. They recommended turning it up or install draft inducer to get the .04 wc.

bump the MIN up a couple numbers at a time and keep an eye on your draft with a gauge. sometimes in the warmer weather, that happens, and you need a little more heat to maintain a good draft.
I've seen mine as low as .02 or so, but never had a problem with draft even on 50 deg days. depends on your chimney too.
Like they said, make sure you have at least one good working CO detector. it can back feed easily if you dont' have enough draft.
do you have a Baro Damper, is it adjusted correctly.?
