I'm I able to make this more clear, I'll give it a try:

The DLE 20cc engine comes standard with the DLE #4 module built for DLE by RCexel.

The DLE 30cc & 55 comes standard with the DLE #1 module built for DLE by RCexel.(these are the only engines I bought new so I can verify only these three).

Of important note on these two ignitions is that the #1 module has Bill Carpenters auto advance ignition timing built to simulate a steady mechanical advance. While the #4 has a single setpoint all in timing advance.

Here in the market we are not privelge to why this was done. Only that some users of the 20cc have a difficult time with this

Now I have to speculate here a little from my field observations.

Many new to gas engine users have come into the market. Your post is an example of some of the mis-information some of them have.

In the #4 there is no program to hold the engine at an RPM for cool down(cool down is best achieved with a slightly rich LSN). The program simply calculates the RPM and retards it below a setpoint or advances it above the set point.

If you add in the problems of learning to tune gas engines along with the power production vs butterfly position and now the "STEP". All things new to gas people do not understand yet.

You can see where much of these issues get their facts distorted. However in this long thread somewhere is almost all the information anybody will ever need on this 20cc engine. Much of the most useful info is update on the first page.

A properly setup and tuned engine no matter what should not die.

I hope this is clear. Any questions please ask.
