Full rich cut

Early in my training my instructor was demonstrating touch and goes in a 150.

Wheels on ground, flaps retracted, throttle straight forward, only to completely lose the engine.

Once we'd coasted to a halt it fired straightaway so not icing, he concluded it was a full rich cut, the first he'd seen in 30 years. We were around 3/4 full tanks and the rest of the lesson was fine

Ever since I've been a bit gentle on advancing to full throttle

Don't know whether facts could be similar ?
