Default RE: DL-50 engine

RCTOM I am by no means an expert i have a couple of smaller gas engines and one DL50. And I just ran it for the first time and i have a 23A Vess prop that i am using. I ran it for an hour at 2500 and still have one more to go before i fly it. I got the idle as low as 1500(almost to slow) and at 15 minute intervals i would open it up all the way for about 5 seconds. I got 7000 by 30 minutes and at the hour mark i was 7150. That is more than i could ask for being that the engine is new and i have not touched the carb at all.
