Don't know if anyone is still using this engine or not. I am, but encountered a bit of a problem. I put a new carb kit in end of 2013 and engine never ran right after wards. Started great, idle fine and up to mid rang super. Go above mid throttle and engine would quit immediately - lean. Have 2 engines, same on both.

Spent a year doing everything but the 5 pound hammer trick to no avail. Had local engine sh ops check my rebuild; was fine. Sent several emails to Tom, to Walbro, several sites - lots of effort but no fix.

Put an old borrowed DA carb on, engine ran great. Had to give that back, original carb on, same old trouble.

Today i put a new DLE55 carb on - works like it used to. High end 7100 but pinch test showed lean so backed off to 6900, now great. Idle 1900. Transition is super...

Any one else experience anything like this or am I the only idjit??
