RE: NEW DLE 20cc Gasser! (Data & Links 1st Post)
I am new to this forum and have not read through it, so please bear with me. My friend has a DLE 20 that is about a year old, so it is well broken in. However, it has recently developed an idol problem. For some reason it will not hold a consistent idle without loading up and shutting down. High speed and mid-range are fine, but when he cuts back to landing speed idle it wants to load up and die. Transition is also good. This situation makes for alot of dead stick landings or on the other hand high speed landings( just in order to keep the engine from dying). It also makes for a lot of long distance aircraft retrieval when the engine shuts down at either end of the runway While trying to reach a reasonable taxing speed. Any suggestions would be very much appreciated.
