I already tried this, flying low with full and zero mixture, still stuttering.

As funny as it sounds you may be running the engine too cold, try closing the radiators some and see if that helps at all. Also make sure to adjust prop pitch, it's very finicky.

I did this as well, strange thing is that the temperature of the engine remains 0 degrees.

IIRC you have to press a button/turn a dial near the engine sensor on the dash to get the reading.

Yes you select the cylinder head to see the temp. If it is at the top you haven't select one and wont see a reading.

Ok found the switch. Radiotors 20% open and engine temp around 200 degrees to run smooth. Thanks.

The G.50 and BR.20 are very finicky. If they're too cold they lose power and shake. They need to be ran hotter than you think.
