    Sounds like your fuel pumps to me. I recently worked on a 150 with the same symptoms, wide open and then shutting down, and that solved the problem. Have you ever replaced them ? There are no doubt other possibilities but I would look at the fuel supply first .

    There is a relay switch for the fuel pump. They can do this. Call HT and see what they say.

    It might be that you're running about 600 rpm above WOT rpm. According to seloc it should be between 4500-5500, I've seen elsewhere 5300...but can't remember where.
