YS dies at bottom of stall turn - Help!!

[Eddie Batchelor]

Just an update on my YS110.  Thanks again to Dean, Troy and all the others
for your advice/help.
I got the motor back from YSPerformance last Friday, reinstalled it in the
Explorer on Sunday and            made 3 flights Monday evening  & 2
flights yesterday evening.

The motor seems to run perfectly. I got very little info from them as to
what was done or not done to the engine. The enclosed packing slip listed a
plunger so I'm assuming they changed out the plunger in the regulator and
under comments it said tighten backplate.

To all the guys that have offered advice.
I talked with Dave Shadel today and am sending my YS to them tomorrow.
It may still be due to my fingers twisting things that shoulda been left
alone,  don't know yet  (VBG)

I'll report all findings and progress when I get it back.
Eddie

Facts:  YS110 powermaster 30% Heli fuel Ys glowplug APC 15X10 turning 8800
and idles between 1800-2000.
Problem:
My fairly new YS110 (about 2 gallons of fuel thru it) has started dieing at
the end of prolonged downlines -such as coming out of a stall turn or on
final approach.

I have done the following so far:
1. assumed the idle was rich - leaned it out until the motor started
throwing the prop. Ok now it's too lean, so I richened it back up.

2. changed the tank and fuel lines.

3. discovered one of the in-line fuel filters partially unscrewed. tightened
this up

4. changed the throttle servo that appeared to have deadband around the idle
area(apparent bad pot)

I've attempted to fly after each of these changes and the motor will die
when I add throttle at the bottom of the stall turn. Now if I give a little
throttle during the downline & not let the motor slow down completely it
appears to do fine.

I want to be able to do a stall turn or a big loop and let the plane pull
out at the bottom with the motor idling and continue flying (at idle) until
I wish to add power.

Another example is on a landing approach when you realise you're a little
short and try to add just a blip of power to reach the runway, it dies about
then. (has twice now)

Does anyone see a "glaring" mistake I'm making, or have a suggestion of what
next to look at. I realise I'm at the bottom of the learning curve with YS
4-c motors and it ain't no fun  :-))

Any help will be greatly appreciated.

Eddie
