If you set your time at 30, 32° you're going to get preignition
Geesh, that's it, I've been doing it all wrong all this time. I have my DLE55 set at it factory setting of 28 degrees BTDC and have been turning a Mezjlik 20x12- 3 blader
It specializes in one flip starts, puts out somewhere around 35 pounds of thrust (7K rpm) and is generally a joy to play with. Quiet set up too....
