May 7, 201115 yr Ahhhhh, thought I might have had the dreaded ignition failure last week but kicked it over to debug this week and it would start and rev with minimal throttle, die at mid throttle at low RPM. Hmmm I thought that sounds like a swallowed reed. Pulled it apart and sure enough a piece of carbon fiber stuck in the intake track. Unfortunately the reed didn't fail, the plastic reed block fractured and hopefully took a quick and uneventful trip through the engine. I love the way it runs too much with the VForce to go back to the stock reeds. Still cheaper than a new stator.

Have you tried the Boyesens?
