Default Saito shuts off

I know this probably seems like an easy fix, but so far it isn't. I have a Saito FA65 that I'm bench testing and it will run full throttle for a minute or 2 then shut off like there was a kill switch. Here's some obvious info to save time. New Glow plug OS F. there's fuel in the line when it shuts off, no bubbles or foam. Omega 15% fuel. It does it with a full tank, 1/2 empty and low. it doesn't matter what that condition is. Fuel filter is clean. Swinging a 13x6 prop at 10300 RPM. Glow plug looks great when pulled after the shutdown. Will easily restart after the shut down and do exactly the same thing again. It's running rich and not heating up. Idles great and great transition so low end appears to be ok.
Looking for advice from the experts! Thanks
