Default Engine stoppage during idle

You're running way too rich.

Why was the pump on and why were you at full rich?



Because that is how it is when one lands.

I have done some test runs today and found that the problem can be
repeated if one quite decisively pushes the throttle shut - that drops
the RPM from 700 to about 500. It happens only when the engine is
warm; say CHT of 330F or higher. The mixture doesn't really affect it.

So it seems OK, but I might inspect the throttle linkage anyway.
