Maybe you are having throttle linkage issues if it is stalling like that? Have you run it for longer periods? if the coil or condenser are bad they will sputter up and stall when you throttle them up or they will run for around a minute when at slower speeds. Try checking out the throttle linkage and then replace the condensers as a good measure even if you figure it out with the throttle. I had a ke7 with Bendix and it did exactly what you described, and I suspect the condensers or coils were the issue but I had difficulty removing the flywheel and offloaded the motor instead of fixing it because I’m into the older stuff anyway.
