Default RE: DA50 or G62


ORIGINAL: bgold

I'm just thinking about the math a little and it seems to me that a G-62 is about 24% larger that a DA-50. How does you G-62 do in a prop swinging contest against a 75 or 80 cc engine.
Thats exactly the point.

A 75--80 engine will whoop the pants off a G-62. Myself and noone else that I've ever heard of has EVER said that a G-62 can compete with a bigger engine. That'd be---well, stupid--to think that the 62 could compete with an engine that has 13--18cc more displacement.

It's NOT the 62 guys talking trash and claiming their engines will run with an 80. Noone has ever said that.

But the 50cc guys like to talk smack and they are ALWAYS running their mouths about how this 50 or that 50 will outswing a 62. Can't happen. 12cc is 12cc. You can't compete with that engine displacement. More cubes wins everytime.

Don't try and turn this into an argument where the 62 is compared to an 80. I don't think I've EVER read a post on this forum where someone was stupid enough to compare a 62 to a 75 or 80.

It's about calling out the guys who talk tough about their 50 engines. It's an open challenge to ANYONE with ANY 50 size engine that thinks he can run with a 62.

I've been on my soapbox before about this very subject. I think it's completely stupid and total BS for a 50cc guy to even compare the 50 engines to a G-62. They are in 2 totally different classes. One is a 50 and the other is a 60. Plain and simple. They shouldn't even be compared to each other. But, there is all this myth, hype and mantra--mostly from DA guys--that their engines will run with a 62.

They're in different classes. They shouldn't be compared with each other. But it continues to happen, daily.

I'm just sick and tired of all the trash talking about the 62. People who have never even had one will repeat, time and again, how it's low on power and it's too heavy.

I am willing to buy a BOATLOAD of props just to put this one to bed once and for all. I'll buy 20-8, 20-10, 22-6, 22-8, 22-10, 22-12, 23-8, 23-10, 23-12, 24-6, 24-8, and 24-10 props from various, well known, manufacturers. I'll buy 2 of each.

No excuses. Bring whatever fuel you want to run and I'll run my Husqvarna chainsaw oil at 40:1--just like I always do. Bring your tach. Bring your camera. And bring your drill jig for your engine.

ANYONE wants to come to Colorado--or ANYONE IN Colorado wants to answer my challenge--bring it on. Let's settle it once and for all.
