Default RE: OS140 Troubles

Well after having it run at home perfectly, I took it to the field this morning for the first flight. Whilst doing and engine running range check it loaded up and died. After several more attempts at getting it to idle or at least hold mid range RPM without loading up I gave up on flying it. I dont want to risk a dead stick on the first flight.
Ive read NOT to touch the low end until it has quite a few flights, but suspect I may need to lean it out some. Today was hotter and more humid (around 70% today) than it was when I had it running well, but not a lot hotter. About 29C (84F) today and 27 when I had it going good.

Rodney, did you mean 1/8 of a turn lean in your post above ?

Right now its near 30+ C, so Ill wait unitl it cools off this afternoon and have a play.
