Default RE: DL-50 engine

Hey guys, i just got done with 3 more flights on the DL. 8 in the past week. It is really starting to come to life. The idle is more reliable and the transition is much better since i did the carb vent whole mod. What i have really noticed is how easy it is to start. Last weekend i didn't even have to cholk it after each flight. Usually i requires a cholk anytime i try to start it after the engine had quit. Today, it caughed after 10 flips on the cholk and started right up after 3 flips. However, for the wrest of the day after that, it took one flip to start it. SWEET. I am noticing that after each flight it seems to be getting a little bit richer in the low end. Is this signs that the engine is breaking in and needs to be leaned a bit. I am comming up on 4 gallons. Really running sweet.
