Apprently it was never running lean. The repair guy said it didn't look like it was running hot. He said I was maybe hearing the belt. The spark plug is now a dark tan color. So unless the spark is lying I think its ok now. Thanks!

After looking around I see the ground wire was not stripped before it was crimpped. It seems to stop ok now after running for a few minutes. And I have not heard the screeching halt I described earlier. So I guess problem is solved!? I'll have to run it more than 5 mins to see if the problem persists. Thanks everyone!

So I just need to turn the screw on the bing carberator or replace the jet?

I am away from my motor at the moment. But if the plug is white indicating it is running to hot then what should I do? Adjust the carb?

Everything is tight. I mixed 1:25 and I used the 160 jet. Thanks for replying

Hello, I could really use some help because I have no idea what the problem is. I have a freeshbreeze 122 with solo 210. The fist time I flew the engine this year the engine seemed to run good until I tried to turn if off. The engine struggled to shut off when the kill switch was down and when it did shut off after 20 secs it chirped or screeched to a halt. Sounded like wear. I looked on the intake side of the piston had visible wear more so than on the exhaust side. I recently had the piston replaced. However after I got everything back together I ran the engine for 5 mins giving it no more than 3800 rpms. I killed the engine and it again struggled to stop and then chirped. I looked on the intake side again and I can see very slight visible wear. Any ideas what this might be? Why would it not stop and why does it screech to a halt? Thanks a million.
