Default RE: DL-50 engine

I have a DL-50 in a GP Cap 232. Easy start engine and great power. I have about 1 gallon through the engine so far.
I have a 2 line fuel system with the tank on the CG. The only problem I have is when I start the engine, then bring
it down to idle 1900 rpm. When I pick up the plane move it out of the starting cradle, if I incline the plane more than 30
deg nose up the engine quits. In the air the engine runs great at idle doing high alpha. No dead sticks so far.
Anyone have any ideas on what may cause the engine to quit.
