Just an update.

After repairing all damage, and having the nose wheel strut re-milled, got the plane back together. This time, no interior until testing and flying are successful. Got to the first test run of the engine just last weekend. Well, after doing all modifications recommended here, and some of my own, I started the engine for a ground test. This time, the idle is perfect, but upon acceleration, the engine quits. Without the engine running, all mechanical components work well, with no interference.

I think ink I have only 2 possibilities left. One is the fuel line and the other is the EI control box. However, I will test the fuel line first. When doing a visual check, there is a small bend in the line that may be providing enough fuel at idle, but is too kinked for high RPMs. Will update thread when I find the issue.
