RE: DL-50 Reed Valve Wear Question

Wouldn't hurt. One other item to check while things are open that could be causing the 5 minute run problem. Open up the carb and clean the carb screen.

Thanks for the suggestion, but that was one of the first things I checked. The screen was amazingly clean.

I'm going to order a new gasket set when I order the reed valve assembly. Just curious, if I pull the jug on the DL-50 will I have any trouble getting it back together without a ring compressor? What would you recommend for torque on the head bolts?

Thanks again for your help.
