Hi there,
I did get the DLE 30 reed block and Carb on the Tartan just yesterday. The response seems to be there, but I am noticing that the RPM just did not seem that much higher, just without a TACH it is hard to tell. The engine did start easier, and seems to run well with the setup however. I did also experiment in small increments with the timing, and saw no high rpm effect, just low end smoothness and ease of starting.
What type of high end RPM should I expect with the new reed block and carb? Last with the WT-159 I was not even breaking 6700 with an 18x10 prop. Could the engine just not be broken in? Let me know. Thanks!
I would be glad to get my hands on a wt257 - I want to make sure the engine is not defunct prior to spending any more money on it first
Best,
Chris
