So I need to ask the following question now as it will take me days to read the rest of this thread. I have a chance to buy a new DLE30 <u>side mount </u>carb engine. It the side carb engine issue still a real problem, was there ever a fix found without having to go to a rear carb set up? Unfortunately for me, the new DLE rear mount will not work in my plane without having to modify the firewall and I do not want to go down that path. The engine needs to be 130mm from firewall to the spinner base. The DLE30 side carb is perfect for this.</span></div><div style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt"></div><div style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt"><span style="font-size: 10pt">Should I buy the side carb DLE30 engine?</span><span style="font-size: 10pt"> I don&rsquo;t know any other good engine options at this time and I am new to gas powered planes.</span></div><div style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt"></div><div style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt"><span style="font-size: 10pt">Thanks.</span></div>
