Marabou,
What altitude are you doing your spins at and where is your mixture set? In the beginning my engine was quitting also. When doing spins from 5000? or higher, I finally figured out that my mixture was too rich at altitude when I pulled the throttle to idle. After doing a full throttle climb with the mixture full rich, I began to lean the mixture after pulling the throttle to idle. The engine stopped quitting after adopting this technique.
Also, in competition aerobatics, a commonly used technique is to go to full throttle before rotation stops to increase airflow over the vertical stabilizer and rudder. This helps stop the spin on an exact heading.
Good luck!
