Default RE: Oh Joy, Oh Rapture....

Dies when pointed up means too lean. When at full power , you should be able to pinch the fuel line going into the carb and hear the engine accelerate slightly before dieing. That indicates tuned just slightly rich of peak lean- a good spot to fly. If, when you pinch the line, it dies without accelerating then it is too lean. Adjust it a click or 2 toward richer and test again.
