Thanks guys for the timely replies.
I didn't know the DA and DL ignitions were nocompatable. I looked through my stash and found a new ignition from one of my BME 58CC engines. It has the Rcaxl logo on it. I'm assuming that one would work.

I'll pull the carb and try cleaning it out everywhere I can find. But I must say....I've never fully disassembled a carb before. So far I've never had a problem. But it's about time I did it just to educate myself. Anything inparticular I should be aware of when disassembling?

I'll do the carb cleaning first....then go to the ignition if necessary.

Thanks
Barry
