The photos of two completely different carbs further muddied the comparison waters. I'm still trying to figure what all the comparisons between a DLE20 and a DA100 are all about. Oh well. Probably all just forum writing where we try to say too much with too few words ..... and if we were conversing in person we would get to the point much sooner then just go fly!
Yeah, your right about that. What I meant is a Walbro "type" vs a true Walbro. The DLE vs DA comparison is what I have and fly. I didn't need to set up a throttle curve on the DA, which has a real Walbro on it, and I had forgot that I have an XYZ with one as well, and both of those compared to the DLE provided carb were easy setups, where the DLE carb is more like an on/off switch than a throttle. Took a lot of messing with the linkage and radio to get some sort of semblance of a throttle with it. I also forgot I have a DLE30 on a P-47, only flew it twice, but that one also has a Walbro on it, no linkage or radio setup was needed for it either.
So thats what I was trying to say to the OP regarding the issues he has, I have the same ones, with just ONE engine, the difference between them is it has a DLE made carb, all the rest have Walbro carbs
