Can you be a little more specific on how the engine quit. Do it warble or bog down before it died on you?
Well, the first time is stopped, I had been flying around for probably 3-4 minutes at 1/4 - 1/2 throttle, then I gunned it to full throttle while climbling slightly. Sounded like it may have loaded-up a little then stopped.

Second time, had been flying around for 2-3 minutes at 3/4-full throttle, then lined the plane up for a high-speed pass. Just as I was about to cross mid-field, the engine just stopped. No bogging or anything. Just stopped while at full throttle and full speed.
Foosball, if you are flying in Denton at North Lakes Park, then go on the weekend and find Gary Saba or John Larson. Those guys can pretty much figure out anything that could possibly be going on with that engine of yours. Great guys.
