Interesting, they can't get the search feature to work, but they can strip out flying giants from the link I posted.

Wow, it won't even allow the two words to be used together in a sentance. What flying if giants I used them like this?

It is not quite the same as getting the output from the tach output on the ignition module, but getting it from the Hall sensor may be less work.

Just a comment!

LOVE my Syssa!!  Great engine lots of  pull on my 3DHS 71" Slick!

But what I really wanted to show you was how a very good builder came up with a GREAT way to operate the choke!  WAY COOL!!!!!!

Check out the video!!!   http://www.youtube.com/user/TrollHDT.../0/XgD6vS1eo94 

Bob!

RE: SYSSA 30CC GAS MADE IN USA
 

Well done!

I resolved the choke issue by using my old glow electric starter to start the engine. I haven't used the choke since. I cant use it on my DLE 55 but it turns anything 30cc and down no problem.

RE: SYSSA 30CC GAS MADE IN USA
 

I am wondering if any one has had any bad experiences with Syssa Aircraft in general .
The reason i ask is that I ordered an Engine from them on October 28th and it is now November 23rd and my engine has not arrived as of yet and even though i live in Canada it usually only takes about a week and a half for my orders to arrive from the USA.
Thank you.

RE: SYSSA 30CC GAS MADE IN USA
 

Normally NO - but it wouldn't hurt to call or email them to check on the status.

RE: SYSSA 30CC GAS MADE IN USA
 

I did send Todd an email and he replied last week telling me that it should be at my door by the end of the week so i guess the next step is to call him . I have no shipping info at all and no tracking number .
Thank You.

RE: SYSSA 30CC GAS MADE IN USA
 

Don't worry,

Todd will get it to you. You'll love it.

Jim;)

RE: SYSSA 30CC GAS MADE IN USA
 

I sure hope so as it is a lot of money to loose if something has gone bad.

RE: SYSSA 30CC GAS MADE IN USA
 

Love the Syssa Engine, worth the wait!!   Todd ROCKS!!!

RE: SYSSA 30CC GAS MADE IN USA
 

Nobody has ever failed to get their Syssa - ever.

Sometimes there is a wait, but it's not a mass-produced item. He custom builds them in batches, there are not thousands of them sitting there all pre-fabbed. Sometimes he has to wait for a piece from a slow vendor. We always get our engines.

It's like having a Rembrandt delivered to you. Worth the wait.

RE: SYSSA 30CC GAS MADE IN USA
 

Thanks for the info folks and now that i know that they are all custom made engines i think it will be well worth the wait.

What are most of you doing with the throttle arm on the Syssa?
Are you using the stock one, or making it longer somehow?

The manual says that anywhere from 50~80:1 is OK after break in.
What is the standard?

Thanks
Bob

RE: SYSSA 30CC GAS MADE IN USA
 

I'm using the stock throttle arm, never felt the need to change it.

As far as oil goes, I'm using Stihl Ultra HP at 50:1.

RE: SYSSA 30CC GAS MADE IN USA
 

Thanks for the reply.
It just looks real short for 3D and all around linear response.

Take care
Bob

RE: SYSSA 30CC GAS MADE IN USA
 

You could be right about the 3-D response, I just do sport flying and don't have any problems. The response seems to be very linear compaired to my other gasser.

RE: SYSSA 30CC GAS MADE IN USA
 

Stock arm. I have a DLE 20 that requires I run 32:1, so that's what the whole fleet (including blowers, weed eaters, etc.) run. If it weren't for that engine I'd likely go 50:1

RE: SYSSA 30CC GAS MADE IN USA
 

Thank you all

RE: SYSSA 30CC GAS MADE IN USA
 

I have made a custom metal arm which is attached with threaded fasteners over the stock arm. The lenght is the same as the long servo ars on my hitek servo. I think it's just my way of looking at it and not a necessary thing to do.

I am running Redline Racing oil in all my gas engines, mixed with regular unleaded gasonline at 40:1 ratio. This is the same fuel mix that I run in my lawn maintenance engines as well.

The MS-SR that I am completing has such a large cowling that I am going to have to extend the exhaust tubes to get them outside the cowl. I am considering using some teflon tubing for extensions. Does anyone here have any experience with this approach, or a better idea?

Thanks,

Mike

RE: SYSSA 30CC GAS MADE IN USA
 

Same problem with the Giant Sportster I run mine in. I found some alum. tubing that was a snug pit over the stock pipes. Fastened the extensions in place using red Loctite to kinda glue the extensions in place, then securing with a single sheet metal screw. So far so good, have maybe 2 gallons through it?

RE: SYSSA 30CC GAS MADE IN USA
 

Red Line at 40 to 1, as also recommended by DA. DA's web site lists a number of oils with varying ratios, within their online available manuals. I guess they should know. My understanding regarding ratio is that it is the oil manufacturer's recommendation that is important. Not all oils are the same and many synthetics have unique chemical make ups.

RE: SYSSA 30CC GAS MADE IN USA
 

ahicks, good idea,I need to run a small extension on my GSS exhaust stacks, they only extend about 1/4 inch below the cowl.

RE: SYSSA 30CC GAS MADE IN USA
 

I'd like to get some more info on this engine. Who sells them. Link please.
