Too high? Now that's a new one. Please explain.

Just recently my hangar neighbor was having trouble with his RV with, I
guess, a Lycoming - his engine would die on final approach. This happened 2
- 3 times before he finally figured out the float in the carburetor had
leaked; and the fuel level in the bowl was too high. It ran fine when he
started up cold, took off and was flying (probably running a bit rich).
When he pulled power on short final it would get too rich and die.
I recall a similar behavior with a car many, many years ago. Maybe not relevant to your case; but seemed to fit.

Did you ever check the carburetor float levels? Engine dying after pulling
the power is a symptom of too high a float level.
Just a thought,
