RE: Walbro for DLE20

Truckracer,

Please note I did say "and a couple of others". I should have used the word "few". I don't have time to sit around thinking of all the names of people that know what they are...

RE: Walbro for DLE20

As I said, there's only one reason to cook off an engine and that reason is the way the owner ran it. No if, ands, or buts. If anyone wants to challenge that...

RE: DLE-20 fried a piston...

Just to stir the sensitivity pot.

RE: Disappointed in RC Advancement Over Last 20 Years

RE: DLE 20 wont idle

I said what I said to diffuse the situation at the request of a respected peer. There will be no more.

I'm going to do something here I rarely do and offer an apology to those that can't deal with me. I'm direct, real direct, which can be a bit tough on some people. I've also been handling a lot of...

RE: PROBLEMS WITH DLE 20CC AND OTHER SMALL GAS ENGINES??

Is the inlet the same diameter as what is found on the DLE 20 carb or of a different size? How many poor idling engines has this solution resolved? This may be something particular to the smaller...

RE: Carb Dripping Gas at Idle

Curious, was the fork engaged with button on the diaphragm when it was leaking or was the button sitting on top of the fork?

The height gauge is a useful tool for those that obtain one. Good to...

RE: DLE 20 wont idle
