Yeah - thanks for that. Actually, the issue turned out to be debris in the needle seats. Carb cleaner took care of it.

I stopped updating this thread because of so many self-righteous replies from...

RE: DLE 55 weirdness...

Actually, I'd rather sit in front of my computer screen, because that's what I'm getting paid to do. As soon as I get the chance to play with my toys, I will.

RE: DLE 55 weirdness...

Hmm.. Sorry, thought I had already replied to you on this. I haven't set up that test. I won't be able to do any testing until tomorrow.

RE: DLE 55 weirdness...

Perhaps you should take his lead.

After all, why would I want to isolate actions that have been taken in the past and resulted in the disappearance of the issue? It's almost as if I'm trying to...

Regardless, the use of synthetic / synthetic blend / organic oils for break-in really shouldn't have anything to do with the symptoms of this issue...

RE: DLE 55 weirdness...

Good suggestions. I'm really leaning towards something in the fuel system as opposed to the ignition system, but I'm obviously not ruling anything out. The more I turn it over in my mind, the more it...

RE: DLE 55 weirdness...

Um. Wow. So the first thing I should do on a brand-new engine is to completely rebuild the carb and replace the hall sensor and ignition module, foregoing any other troubleshooting options?

I appreciate the reply, but how can you offer a suggestion if you haven't even read the symptoms?

RE: DLE 55 weirdness...

I use LiFE's pretty exclusively now (all the benefits of LiPO without any of the dangers and downsides), and have them on my DLE 30 as well. They're becoming pretty much the standard at my field.

RE: DLE 55 weirdness...

Thanks - I'm actually running a 2S LiFE (6.6v) regulated to 5.8v for the ignition. The ignition is rated to 6v. I've verified the output with a voltmeter just to be on the safe side.

RE: DLE 55 weirdness...

I'm running a synthetic blend, and the plug is not fouling. Also, according to DLE, they recommend synthetic with a 30:1 mix.

Again, just quoting the engine manufacturer - I figure it's always a...

RE: DLE 55 weirdness...

LOL - that sucks. More than anything, it's nerve-wracking when that happens (and worse when the tank is full and you have to watch it fly around in Nascar laps for twenty minutes just waiting for the...

RE: DLE 55 weirdness...

Interesting. The first video is similar, although I need to rechoke the engine after the first little burst of idle in order to get it to do it again. Did you experience the same "once it got running...

RE: DLE 55 weirdness...

If I need to do a rebuild, I will, but how likely is that necessary on an engine with less than 3 gallons through it? Not being argumentative, but it just seems like if the carb was badly in need of...

RE: DLE 55 weirdness...

I don't think I understand. Factory needle settings are specified in the DLE manual. Are you saying that they shouldn't be used as a hard-and-fast setting for all occasions? If so, I agree, but if...

RE: DLE 55 weirdness...

I have spent quite a bit of time on and around that carb, checking to make sure everything is tight. I haven't looked for cracks, so that's something I can check.

RE: DLE 55 weirdness...

I'm sorry, but I have to disagree (which I hate to do when I've asked for help).

1: The DLE manual (which are actually the people who manufacture the engine, not ValleyView), clearly states that...

RE: DLE 55 weirdness...

I'm not sure I'm familiar with Puregas - is that the alchohol-free gasoline, or am I thinking of something else?
