I was running a 50/50 mix at the time. The Ellison got too hot and I had removed a cooling scoop from the cowling when I rebuilt it for my RAM air. So my fault. I now run a Rotec TBI with the primer button on the regulator so you can break the vapor lock. The 10-4894 was always way too rich so I had to abandon it. And yes training and mindset is everything. I was at 600ft and it took about 60 second and I was flaring to land in that field.
