OS50 suddenly lost power - fixed

Suddenly lost power after 50 flights. The OS50 shows signs of overheat after 2-3 tic toc and the Carbsmart tends to richen the needle. Head temperature reads ~130 degC. Normally it reads <110deg C as adjusted in the carbsmart.

Turn out to be the damaged ring and sleeve (previous scotched) .
After replacing them, it works pretty well again.
