Default RE: MOKI RADIAL Care and Maintenence

Advice wanted.

After several flights without any problems with the moki
Today, experience problems:
after starting the engine , warming up , everting fine, taxing for take of stil no problem.
Then slow acceleration to half throttle then the engine lost power for a second then more throttle input given plane started to fly, engine kept running but sounded like the ignition stopt working now and then, I was able to land the plane safely.
I used a LiFe 6,6V 2300mAh ignition battery with a 5A 5V Ubec, after landing I replaced this battery by a 5cell 2400mAh NiMh (this accu i used before for the ignition with the same Ubec)
Tried the engine, engine choked, and started tried to give more throttle but engine stopt, after that i was not able to start the engine.

I looked at the 2 leds on the ignition
according to the manual the 2 leds whould need to light both after turning the prop this doe not happen led 2 comes on 2 or 3 times en then stays off

I made a short film of the leds on the ignition (note the ignition is switched on and off together with the fuelpump)
