Default RE: 46FX Midrange Problem

Still having problems with this one, reset both needles as described-again. The compression is fine, it's got a great idle (maybe a little on the slow side around 2K plus or minus), still intermittent mid-range, and high speed is good with lots of power. I have both set slightly rich (faint smoke trail at high throttle) but every second or third attempt at throttling up results in the motor dying(on the ground and in the air).

I'm sure any warranty has expired, but I might have to send this one in - it's got me baffled. Probably something really small that I'm overlooking(and everyone else at the field too). Wierd thing is, I have another that is also about the same age(bought within a month or so) has been run under identical conditions, broken in and tuned the same(per directions), and with about the same amount of flight time, without any problems. I know they vary from engine to engine, but one that's perfect, and one that just randomly stops? I don't get it. [&o][sm=confused.gif]
