Ok, I have the temp. problem solved on my DL100, but am still having a problem with the mixture setting. Engine runs a little rich on the ground and I am thinking it will lean out when it unloads in the air. My idle and high range are fine, but the mid-point is terrible. Blubber, sputtering and just not running good at mid or half stick. Any ideas/suggestions from dl experts will be appreciated.
Properly adjusted DL twins have very little midrange burble, don't leave it rich on the ground thinking it will lean out in the air. Adjust the high for peak and the low for the best, leanest, transition. Properly adjusted, a cold DL twin will not accept much throttle without presenting a lean sag until it runs and warms up for 30-45 seconds. If you need to turn the either needle more than about about 3/16th of a turn you should revisit the other needle, there is a bit more overlap in the Emas carb than on a walbro.
