For Sale DA-150 Twin Engine

[Rick Erfert]

I'm tasked with selling a couple DA-150 Twin Engines.

Here is the first one.
I cleaned it up a bit, pulled the walbro carb and checked out the intake reeds.
Put a few drops of oil on the piston thru the exhaust ports and everything looks good in there, NO SCORING OF THE PISTONS.
Pistons, Crank and Rods look like new.
One cooling fin is slightly bent on the right hand side, shouldn't affect anything.
The engines came out a storage locker auction in Arizona.
Check out the pictures and ask questions if you have some, I'll try my best to answer them.
I didn't try to start the engine as I don't have access to a propeller, But I see no reason that it shouldn't fire up without an issue.
Has Good compression turning it over by hand.

Not sure what this DA-150 engine is worth but Looking for $800? Offer.
Thanks, Rick

Thanks Michael,
Yes I talked with a Dave over at DA and he said that they would go through the engines if I wanted to put them back to use.
Dave wasn't interested in buying them to rebuild and resell as used, for the simple reason they build NEW ones every day from scratch.
I flew 6-9 foot gliders back in the day, but nothing close to this large of an engine.
The owner IS modivated to sell.
