Default DA 50 concern

I have a DA 50 on my double vision. It runs fine on the ground. About 2 gallons of 30% ashless oil mixture thru it so far. Using a Menza 22X10. Engine looked at from experienced DA100 owners which feel the mixture is set right.
Manfacture number 2779. The reason I've given number is I've read about problem on previoius DA50.

PROBLEM: When flying, I idle down with a few second the engine stops. My first impression after looking over throttle linkage is I might need to secure it in one more location just before the linkage on the carb.
In other words, could the vibration cause the linkage to flex enough to move the throttle arm to close? Causing the engine to stop

Any thoughts on this problem. I've had 4 dead stick. On the forth I ended short of the run way. Lost landing gear. I don't want to continue tearing up plane.
