Default RE: NEW DLE 20cc Gasser! (Data & Links 1st Post)

APC props seems to work well. I was told not to use a plastic prop on my DLE20 but it appears many folks are having a lot of fun with the performance these offer.
ANy reasons to not run a plastic prop on the DLE20?


a1pcfixer, for a small two stroke I doubt the compression ratio is going to get to 10.8:1, so using premium gasoline is really bragging rights I agree. The DLE 20 comes close depending on which spec sheet you read. Most of the samll two stroke gassers are undersquare in geometry so have low swept volumes. To get to higher compression ratio's they wouold need to have over head valves.
I've often wondered why the Saito gassers seem to produce such poor power when they can achieve higher compression ratio with the design.
