Ok so I have a new DLE55 on a GP Pitts. I have 4 flights on it. First on went uneventful, second one the fuel line in the tank fell off, fixed that and third flight was good. Today I fly for 5 minutes engine running perfectly then all of a sudden it starts to want to cut out going vertical, then even in level flight and it flames out and safe landing. I go over and touch the motor and its is hot and not only that the aluminum spinner is really hot. I also richened it up 1/8 turn on the HS needle before. Any thoughts?

HI
THE N/V adjustments on the gas engines are 1/16 turn-not 1/8 turn like on glo engines you were running lean to get that hot
