Default RE: Welcome to Club SAITO !

My .82 is cutting off when I give full throttle. Problem is that this only happens on take off or in the air. I can recover a near flame out on take off sometimes and I can acctually make the engine die if i want. it seems to be ok as long as the transition to wot is not too abrupt. I have set the needle with my tach, 300 or more rpms rich ,changed the location of the tank ( center to be at level to carb) ( added foam rubber to cushion tank). I can hold the airplane vertical ,wot ,and its fine. My next approach my be to replace the tank and fuel lines. Incidentially, I had the engine on an identical model (with this tank ) and as well and in another type plane (different tank) and this did not occure which leads me to believe something had gone wrong with the engine. i may have missed some diagnostic proceedures. Please throw in any advise.
