ayrobotech, are you sure it is a carb problem? If the plug is wet, it sounds like the engine is not firing when choked and it just continues to get wetter to the point it couldn't fire if it had to. If it were my engine I'd try two things. First, get your hands on a known good carb and try that to see if it makes a difference. If that doesn't fix the problem, try to substitute a known good ignition. If you don't have the parts laying around, maybe you could borrow them from a friend. I know I have loaned out parts before when someone was having problems. Sometimes there is just no better troubleshooting technique than parts substitution.

Ignition problems can act like carb problems and similarly the other way around. There have been known cases of bad Rcexl ignitions as used by DLE and in particular, some of the sensors have had strange problems. This has been covered extensively in other forums. I recently had a DLE 61 that simply would not start worth a hoot, especially when hot. I substituted an Rcxp ignition and sensor from Milton at RC Extreme Power and all problems went away. Like you, this seemed to be a carb problem but I knew it wasn't because the engine ran fine once I got it started. Good luck and remember, all engines, even DA have problems from time to time.

If you find there is a real carb problem, Valley View RC and Mile High RC are both good sources of Walbro carbs.
