RE: DLE 20.....very hard to start (80+ flips)
Thinking maybe you have more time on these than you're giving yourself credit for?
To me, this mentality of assuming that the valves are causing all of this hard starting, bad idling, BURBLING, makes about as much sense as some comments made regarding the #4 ignition? The fact it was junk and should be replaced because it wasn't possible to make the engine run right with the stock module? That comment was made by some pretty credible people as well? Many of us knew however, those comments did not account for the HUNDREDS of guys flying them successfully, having a blast with them? That's my only point. Trying to caution those that may not know any better to try and not jump to inaccurate (internet) conclusions....
Anyway, just sayin....
Good to hear you've got yours running better!
