Pilot RC 122" Extra 330SC

[Terryscustom]

I put up some R-13 on the garage door... had to... did you see the temp the other night? 55 degrees! Last night down to a brutal 60! My little heater got it up to 72 pretty quickly last night after the insulation board install.

Terry, I have so many questions for you all the time. haha I'll start with a couple about this carb and ignition...

1) 3 reeds touch and one is just slightly not touching... does the compression take care of all of that? Or do they all need to be touching on the bench? I think it is a blown open or blown closed thing. But, I'm old and I forget everything. haha

2) Does the Rcexl ignition tester work on DA ignitions? Because I can't get it to work on my known good DA ignitions. I can power it up directly from the battery and the LED will light up.

I'm reading that the Rcexl ignition is not compatible with the DA ignitions. Oh well.

There is pressure in the case but not enough to seat that I would not think I'd get a new reed, or first you could try just simply flipping it, but then the other one may stick up . Either way it's not right and should be repaired.

Yeah, I was thinking to flip it over and see if that helped. Thanks, Terry! I'll let you know how it goes.

Does your sons 222 have Bowman rings?

My friend Tony tried a 32 x 10 Mejzlik on his DA200. That thing would make your ears bleed if you weren't careful. He went back to a 30 x 13 Mejzlik. More power less noise.

It does have Bowman rings. But I'm not convinced they are making a huge difference. Then again, both my 111's have been running Bowman rings since they were new. Both turning Falcon 28x10's around 6700 static. And throttle response is like a Ferrari. Don't know if it's the rings, the Falcon props or just DLE. All of them run really awesome. I do love my 3w's, but still very impressed with the DLE motors.
