Default OS 91 FX Leaning out, T/H sends a fuel inlet valve

We just had one show up at the field this past Sunday in which was broke in, in the air on a tiger 60. 10 min into flight it leaned out and shut down. Before he was air born I told him what it was going to do before it ever did it. Did I mention it had not been ran yet? Now that's sad when you can predict what the engine is going to do before it even does it. Whats the bashing? no bashing, just facts.

The pilot did get the engine running as it should be removing the baffle inside the muffler and running 30% through the engine, it ran like it was supposed to then, I wonder just how long though.

I sent mine in and am waiting for the turnout. I do how ever have a perry pump in my inventory just in case all else fails. If you read my previous post on this issue you will find out all that I have done.

My question is why should we have to go through all this trouble?
