Default RE: DL-50 engine

Hey guys, I just came back from running from 55 for the first time. All I can say is Wow Wow Wow!!! A few flips to get it primed without ignition. Turn ignition on, close choke, flip 3 times, and pop! Open choke, flip twice, pop, and on the third flip we were in business. I just ran it for 5 minutes or so and it already feels like it's got tons of power. I didn't get to tach it at all because it was late, but I'll be sure to tach it on my next runs as the engine breaks in. So far, I'm very pleased and excited for this engine!!!

BTW, just for reference, I'm using Pennzoil 2 Stroke Air Cooled oil mixed at a 32:1 ratio. It's on a Slimline Pitts Style Inverted Muffler bought for a total of $108.00 including shipping from DA. I forgot to say that I scrapped the stock plug and went with a NGK CM-6 even before starting the engine.
