Ok guys,
Well, I ran my DA50 through 8 tanks of fuel today. In the air, it ran great, with a little more burbling than I like, but it ran. I think the low end is somewhere between 1 1/8 and 1 1/2 out. The high end is around 2 out.
I am STILL having problems cranking though.
I choke the engine until it pops, and then when I go to choke OFF, it takes a TON of flips to get it to run. Most of the time it will start and run for about 1 second, and then abruptly die. I keep flipping, and it keeps starting up, and then dies immediately. When it does finally stay running, it will rev UP, and then DOWN, rev UP, and then DOWN, almost as if I'm doing it with the throttle stick.
This always makes me think it is starving for fuel, but if I richen the low end up, it won't transition. It will have major hesitation, when I try to transition from idle to full throttle.
Also, when the plane is in the air, the high end burbles just a little every now and then, so it seems that the high needle is rich, but in no way too lean. (I would think)
I'm calling DA tomorrow, but wondered if you guys had any other info to share with me, that may help out. Thanks fellas.
