Default Engine craps-out in the air...

Hi folks,
Lucky thing(& no wonder) I fly electric too,or I'd get very little flying done indeed...as I've had rotten luck with several of my engines.I have recently began ATTEMPTING flight with my old OS.40fp again & remembered just why I put it away years ago!The engine will run perfectly on the ground,Starts easily,idles reliably & will run the tank dry without a problem...but as soon as you attempt flight & climb-out for a few seconds it will die.Every time.It frustrated me into "retiring"the engine years ago & seems to headed towards "hammer retirement"now!!!

It's probably something simple too...


Any advice would be appreciated.
Thanks.
