SilverSurfer you are exactly right about it being new and warming up to run. I called DA today and my hats off to Brian there as I will NEVER consider another brand of engine as long as DA is in bussiness when I buy a gas engine in the 50-100-150 range.

If the engine were only half way decent they would still be worth the price due to the service you get from DA. I told Brian what was going on and he treated me like his best friend and answered every question I had and he actually knew what he was talking about!!!
Everything he said was dead on and when I explained my problems and the synptoms guess what??? He had heard and seen real working gas engines do it before and knew how to correct it!!!!! He took the time to explain how he tunes one and what he listens and looks for on one. I have 20+ years of glow experience, but little gas experience. I was adjusting too much at one time. I am used to running high nitor in my glow engiens and a side benefit of the extra power is the numb needles that are easy to adjust. Gas engine needles are ar least the Da has sensitive needles. I set mine back at the factory specs like I was told to do and the ening fired and ran about 95% perfect from the seting in the manual. Problem 95% solved. I richened the low end a 1/16 and then once more and perfect transition and reliability and very easy to start too.

I sure appreciate all yours guys comments and I have a Pro Zinger 22x10 on the engine and can only get a reliable idel of about 2,300-2,400 RPM. One click lower and if you bump the stick up and down like you do for taxing around it will cough and die sometimes. Bring it up to about 2,400 and it is fine. I have a 24x8 Menz and I put it on and ran it just for a minute to see what it would do and I got 6,500 top end and yeah it idled on down at 1,800, but that is a CHUNK of prop. I will go it it after breaking as DA told me for 3D that is the prop I want and Brian at DA flies it on his Wild Hare Edge 540T. I do not like speed, I like lots of pull and lots of downline braking and the 24x8 Menz will do just that.

After all is said and done now all the thing needs is to have a couple of gallons ran through it to get a 2K idle with existing prop. Thing thing just needs to be flown. I think I can handle that.

Thanks all,
