Today was the last day of engine testing on the DLE85, do or die. She hand started right up like a good little DLE should.

First run was to prime a few turns, then choke on, flip 2-3x and pop, then no choke, flip 4-5 times and she started. Ran great, low idle was 1400-1500, smooth as silk.

Hot starts where one or two flips and she started. restarts went normal, prime 3 turns, choke for 3x then 4-6x to start. I think I have a true DLE. I'm done testing, on with the building.

Start video.
