It looks like the NTSB finished up their examination of Ken Lien's fatal
crash from back in August of 2008.
The long and the short of it is this:
.onsite examination of the airplane revealed that the carburetor's
mixture control lever was observed separated from its mixture shaft.
The full narrative:

I hope all builders including myself can learn something from his tragedy.

I noticed another comment - the final sentence of the NTSB report:
The mixture control cable was secured to the firewall, not to a
bracket on the engine.
This suggests to me the installation of the engine was not done
correctly. The report also indicates this was the maiden flight of the plane.
