Status: offline 		I have been flying nitro engines for some 5 years now and have just purchased my first gasser. DLE30 is motor of choice and I am installing it in a Super Decathlon. The motor starts good and runs without any problems except it idles so rough. I have tried tuning the low end in hops it will smooth out with no progress. Engine oil is mixed 40/1 and I am running a 16x6 prop. I have flown the plane around 60 minutes total combined flights. I have noticed when going from a higher rpm back to an idle the motor slows down till it almost stalls thus I am keeping the idle somewhat high so it don't stall on approach.  Will the engine smooth out with more run time? Is there some adjustment I am missing. Any help would be greatly appreciated. rj

That's the classic sign of the low speed needle being set TOO RICH.

Turn the LS needle in a bit at a time until this stops altogether and the engine maintains a consistent speed, then SLIGHTLY back the needle out about 1/16 of a turn.

That will cure the problem.

Status: offline 		I was expecting some videos.

But seriously, a guy at the club has had the same problems with his DLE30. He kept using the original spark plug until is cracked. He also had the engine quit in the air a few times. He kept tweaking the needles with limited success. He also blamed the fuel filters a couple of times. But in the end, he returned the needles to the factory settings and started the tuning process all over again. It got better, but he still has occassional issues with it. He is a good flyer and has a lot of experience with other engines, glow and gas. This one has him stumped.

Status: offline 		Dang, Giant Scale beat me to it!! I have gotten a lot of the DLEs running nice and smooth for other people at the field just changing the Chinese No Name Mystery Plug with a real CM-6, makes a lot of difference. The plug that comes in the DLE is fun to pull and ground then roll over the engine and watch how it arcs all over the place except where it should.
