Default RE: engine dying

Did you open up enough airflow in the cowl?  Engine overheating?

Could also be an overly lean run.

Did you tear the feed line in the tank?  Once it gets to the plug level it starts sucking air.  Than can happen if the brass/aluminum tank tube has a rough or sharp spot.

Love my Saratoga.  They're great flying planes.
