My new DL-50 runs well but sometimes kicks back when started. I use a chicken stick. It kicks so hard that the propeller is damaged. This is something that has never happened to me with my other gas engines.
I have checked the timing and it seems to be 28 ˚ before TDC. This is according to the recommendations. On the other side I am surprised that it is supposed to fire so early. My ZDZ engines fire much later when the propeller is moved slowly past TDC.
Could it be something that I have misunderstood?
