Default RE: DL-50 engine


ORIGINAL: vertical grimmace

I am getting ready to get one of these engines for my Ultimate bipe. Any tips for the first time user? I am planning on getting a pitts muffler. Anything you guys could offer would be great.
I have 3 DL's now and i would recommend you dont touch anything mixture wise as it should be fairly close settings wise from the factory. All mine have had a sightly rich low end that you lean out as the motor gets run in.

All my engines 3 DA's and 3 DL's are not run in. Put one tank through it on the ground to ensure a reliable idle, then go fly.

I also run 50:1 fully synthetic from Day 1. Break in on a 22 x 8 then maybe a 22 x 10. That said all my DL's are on Mejzlik 23 x 8.

To start it, follow Bobs instructions. www.dlusa.net

Cheers
