Default RE: Does your DA50 do this?

Well it did it again but this time I found the problem. At half throttle it would start dying like it was running out of fuel so after a few hours of tinkering and searching more answers on the internet it was the "Carburater Screen"!!!!

I opened up the carb and on the part where its a round circle screen there was junk on top of it everywhere, pieces of tiny wood and shaving and no telling what else was in there..probably just needed yearly maintenance with regular wear and tear. So I bought a carb cleaner from the local auto store and sprayed it lightly after using a q-tip and cloth to get the junk outa there.

That fixed the problem instantly. I'm surprised the DA tech's missed this because they said it ran fine when they got it but I'm not sure if they didn't run it long enough to notice it.

Anyways I'm happy with my DA again. I'm kinda' glad I did it myself because now I just learned something new.
