Stumped !
if anyone can help me I would appreciate very much. I have a DLE 20 ra that’s about six months old and has been running fine up until two weeks ago . Had a flight ran fine landed , hit a bird hole broke a prop . Replaced the prop engine wouldn’t start . Did all the checks I could think of , even bought a new carb. Can get it to run now but it won’t idle , it will doa high idle then slow down and quit , or it just quits when you try to let it idle . Changed plug , replumed the fuel tank tried a friends ignition system , I’m stumped, can anyone help thanks email [email protected]

I doubt that hitting a hole would do damage to the carb. Did the plug cap make any contact with the ground? Any small impact can damage the silicone insulator inside the plug cap and make ithe engine hard to start, run rough or any number of other problems. Caps are easy to replace but it never hurts to have a spare ignition. I'd recommend buying a replacement ignition or if you can borrow a known good one from someone, try that. But small impacts are not going to damage your carb so I don't know that I would look at that direction for a problem unless there was more damage than you indicate in your first post.

Double check your plug wire too. I nosed over a plane with a US 41 on it and scraped the plug wire. Durn thing would not hit a lick until I replaced that wire then it ran fine. All along I didn't think so much as a little scrape would hurt it. It didn't go anywhere near the copper wire either.
