number of flips...

DA 170 x 2 = choke on, flip 5 times, then pop, then flip 3 to 5 times, and she is off!
Da 200 = choke on, flip 3 times (no pop), flip 4 to 5 times, then she cranks on. It was tricky to figure this out. I was over-flipping it, thinking i would hear it pop. Turns out, less is better.

DLE55: Choke on. 5-6 flips until it primes.
Choke off. 5-6 flips to start. Never run dry at the end of session and occasionaly ground run once a month when at off season.
Always left some fuel in tank to keep fuel magnet and viton line soft when stored.
Same procedure everytime, running flawlessly now on its 5th year. Highly recommended.

I found way to get it started after is sits for a while without your arm falling off, get a bubble syringe to put in your tool kit. If it has set for a while and you know it's gonna take forever, squirt a little fuel in the carb with the syringe. When it pops and burns the prime up it will draw fuel faster than flipping by hand... Saves your arm too
Had a rebuilt 55 giving us some trouble today, It hadn't been run in 4 or 5 months..(damn winter) but learned a trick from an old timer, as long as is has stock exhaust you can flip the plane over shoot some fuel in the pipe and turn the prop before flipping it back over and it will fire in a flip or two, This really helps pull the fuel up. Just a side note to your suggestion sense you cant really squirt fuel in a rear carb that easy

Nice Tip!! My 55 has a Bisson Pitts muffler on it so prolly wouldn't work with mine, but mine has the opposite problem. It floods really really easy! lol

I think the last time this engine was started was Sept. of last year. The fellas noticed some clanking in it, so I pulled engine off, sent it in, and she came back with a total rebuild. She just wouldn't pop off yesterday, I wanted to load her up, and work on her at the house, not at the field, but I had 2 yes that's right 2 Pit Bitches that wouldn't give up. Thank you @emtp275 and @mulehead1969, we messed with it, and finally got her to running. I think carb had gummed up form setting so long. I didn't run her dry when I parked her, and as I was pulling wing off, I got that bad gas smell.

The Hooter ladies, just felt sorry for an old perv, the 2 pit bitches work for free beer. Speaking of pit bitches where the heck has Kelly gone?
