I can only tell you about my DA-50 on my Menz 22x8. 7000-7200 RPM depending on which carb I had on it. I bought a replacement carb from DA to try and fix a dead stick issue. The new carb dropped my peak RPM by 200-300 RPM. No idea why, no matter what I did to the high speed tuning it would not exceed 7000 RPM. I returned the carb to DA for credit and sold the engine with the old carb on it. When DA tested it on a plane with the old carb they said it had more power than their engine that was on the plane before mine.
