hi,

my da50 has gone through about 1 gallon of fuel and there are some problems with the engine.

it starts very easily, few flicks with the choke closed and then a few with the choke opened.
after starting, if i shut the engine, it does not start again. i've tried everything but it just doesn't start. ( it's not lean or rich)
some times if i leave the engine alone for about 10 to 15 min and then try to start it, it starts.
if it doesn't start i leave it and try the next day and it starts easily. what could be the reason?

another problem is that once the engine starts and i fly the plane, it's happened twice that the engine has stopped after about 4 to 5 nim in the air.
i was flying at mid throttle and the engine just stops. unfortunately the engine stopped at a bad time and i broke the undercarriage and the bottom of the fuse [:@]
anyway, all that will be repaired, but i don't want this to happen again.

my setup:

the "L" needle on the engine is set at 1 3/8 or 1 4/8 to get rid of the gurgling sound.
the "H" is set at 1 6/8
bally 22x8
oil is Castrol Supper TT @ 32to1
Bisson muffler
plane, WH edge

thanks,
