Default RE: DL-50 engine


ORIGINAL: craigteffe

Just had an issue with one of my DL's today this engine is about 2 years old now, fired the engine up and went to tune it and it ran very good then all of a sudden it stopped i fired it back up and the engine would not run over half throttle, it would die out after passing the half way mark, I tried to tune it i richened up the high end and that would not do it so now i have pulled the engine off and will see if the high end needle is cloged and clean the carb. I also checked the spark plug after removing the engine and it looked good but i will change it anyway. I will let everyone know what i find as i go along. I also thought about calling bob to get another sensor. I have herd about these things going out and only running at lower RMP.

Anyone with any ideas?
Open the diaphragm cover and check the float diaphragm and needle valve lever assembly.
