Does anyone know if you can reverse the rotation on this engine to use it as a pusher ? I cant find much info on it , I have read small amounts but nothing concreate
Yes....you can get it to run the other direction.....but not as strong.....the intake manifold (cast as part of the crankcase), is "Directional".....
Have you reversed a DLE111 and ran it the other direction, doesn't sound like it from your post.

I have.

jetG23,

Buy the universal positionsensor,set the timing at 28* BTDC,put the prop on backward and give it try, you may be surprised.
