I have a DA50 with a little over 1 gallon run. I flew a flight, landed shut the engine off with the opti switch and now cannot get the engine to start. I've checked spark, it appears ok, I get fuel, though maybe to much.
I choke and flip, and flip, and flip and get nothing. No putter or cough.
I pulled the plug and fuel drips from the hole (inverted mount on EF Yak). The plug gets filled with fuel, like to much is getting into the engine. Also fuel drips from the stock muffler. I'm guessing maybe a stuck reed or something.
This is my first gas engine and I'm at a bit of a loss.

The spark looks ok (holding the plug agianst the head and turning it over). I am thinking I am getting to much fuel, but choked or unchoked I get absolutley no fire from the engine. Battery checks 7.6V or so (li-ion) reg to 6V.

Any ideas would help me out.
Thanks

I'd check that the choke is opening fully, bypass the opti kill switch for testing, and if these fail I'd send it to DA.

I've loaded my DA50 up that bad before also. You've got to really get the plug and cylinder dry to get it to fire again. I had to use an air compressor on both the plug and cylinder in order to get it dry enough. I would think it's a slim chance that a reed is stuck. If it stuck open, I don't think there would be enough vaccum in the crankcase to work the carb diaphragms.

OK I'll open it up and dry it out see where it goes from there. THnka
