Thanks BCCHI

Received engine,looks good.Havent had time to try and run it.Bench checked Ignition all is good.Maybe this week end I will set up and see what gives.I hope it does not start and run good.I may tear it down before I try and run it.Something seems a little dragy when you turn it over.
Thank You Bill C.

Hope you can get the damn thing running, I never could get the thing to suck fuel. Best of luck, and thanks.

Tore the engine down today.Did not find anything that should have kept it from running.Piston had some goudges and SPS. shiney piston spots,Found some burrs on the edge of the finger ports.Cleaned these up and worked on piston.Ring looks like crap but worked on the ring a little.If I were going to put this engine in a airplane I would put a bowman ring in it.Anyhow it feels a lot better now and seems to have better compression.The engine has been run.I believe if it had been run longer would have ruined the piston,Also the engine has been apart had signs of a black cylinder gasket stuck to flange on the cyl. This was not enough to hurt anything.Looked inside all OK needle lever was a little high which should of caused it to get more fuel.Pump is working and pop off preasure seems about right,May get it mounted on test stand tomorrow.It should run.I have a carb and ignition if it comes to that . This engine is the same as DLA.Has DLA name on parts. Looks well built but poorly finished.Will let you no.Had the crank out bearings are good.
No crankcase leaks,and reeds are sealing OK.
Thank You Bill Carpenter Grumpy no TWO.Merry Christmas.

heres one for ya;bought an SV-100 goes on test stand would not suck gas,went through all the normal checking of this and that looked down in the carb looked black,pulled the carb the dam gasket center hole was not punched out,what clown put this together.so after reassembly and a 6 pack the think has ran perfect for going on 6 yrs.and a merry christmas to all.Geo.

We had two cases in 30 years,where customer made the muffler gasket and did not cut the hole out for the exhaust.Didn't run too well. I carry one of the gaskets around in my billfold to show a fly ins.I have some guys look at the gasket and cannot see anything wrong with it.Looks like flying over for awhile out here in Riverton. O-well time to build. I think I have lost it am building four 60 span roadrunners Electric -UGH.
Two built up and two doller tree foam board. Funny things happen when you get old.
Merry Christmas too all and to all a good night.

I kinda hate to tell you this.Run two tanks of fuel through the SP today. I wish I knew why it would not run for you. Hand started right off carb tuned very easy .Going to run it a couple of hours and pull the cyl and see if it is still eating the piston. If it was not winter,I would put it in the air.I have a friend who want's it if it checks out OK on the piston. I think I will put a Bowman ring in it. Still not good compression but will hand start.Ring looked real crappy.

that bowman ring will take care of most of problem,at least lets hope so,yah Bill down here in pine bluffs I could fly if the wind would slow down some,we are having a heat wave 4:30 am its 41,I enjoyed the exaust gasket one and your rite old age sucks.Geo.

I have to second this.
I have an RCGF 15 that would not pull fuel even with the choke full on. When i bought a ring for another engine from Bowman he included the note. I disassembled the engine and cleaned up all surfaces and sealed them with silicon seal.
Now the engine starts and runs like a champ. It sure is tough to break in though. I should have got a Bowen ring for it too.

Well Bill, I'm happy for you. I never would have taken the piston out to check the ring as I don't have a ring compressor any more. So I would have flown it till the damn thing blew up. Boy, I will NEVER spend one penny on a SE product again. And most whole heartedly agree, getting old sucks!

Best of luck, and Happy Holidays
