RE: DA50- Anybody Having Trouble?
My DA-50-R ran great for the first gallon. Now, half way through the second gallon, it is absolutely impossible to start by hand and has alot less power. I never tached it so I don't know how many rpm's it lost but on my GP Christan Eagle it went from unlimited vertical to very little vertical. I am running a 23x8 Mej. and 32:1 lawnboy ashless. When I called DA (12/10/04)they didn't sound the least bit surprised about this problem and told me to check the timing. If it wasn't correct I should send it back to them so that they could replace the hub. I haven't had a chance to check it yet. Since they were talking about replacing the hub if the timing was off...it sounds to me like they might have a problem with the key-way in the hub being out of tolerance or maybe the key cracking/breaking (but that is just a guess on my part, I'll will post when/if I find what the problem is)
