Sorry, no experience with use inside canisters or tuned pipes. Rooman's right about caustic products, which this probably is.

Is it ok to use 2 carb gaskets? My new walbro carb from VVRC came with a round gasket, but the old existing one has a square gasket. It’s the exact same carb. for DLE-35RA. Thanks for your help

And the new round one.

Oh man. That's interesting. If this engine has seen a lot of run time, I'd toss the old gasket and use the new round one as long as it mates up to the carb. I do not see the benefit of using both gaskets in this application. If its installed on an existing airframe, and you use two gaskets, your throttle linkage distance is subject to change as well. Just my opinion.

All the later DLE engines use the square gasket. It seals in all the areas it needs to seal. I wouldn’t use two gaskets. By the way, the carb is square, not round so no big deal about the shape.

Thanks guys, I took off the round gasket and just used the square one, the only reason I wanted to use the round one is because it seems like it made a better seal around the round hole in the carb. When I initially took it apart, it seem like there was a lot of gas soaking the gaskets and seeping out just a tiny little bit, and I really don’t want to get into using sealer on the gaskets but I want to make sure I have a good seal so I am trying a thin layer of oil this time

I need a little help here, My DLE 61is now 4 years old was running perfect with a carb cleaning now and then. But now it just misses and throttle will not come up. Chect the life battery is ok running 6.6 volts and had no problems battery ok. I think my ingition box ? Engine will start but stumbles and missing at idle. BY passed my ingition shutoff no change.

Ihave a DA60 too could i use that ignition box

The DA ignition uses an inductive sensor where the DLE ignition uses a Hall sensor. They will not interchange.

Now if you have the DA sensor for that ignition and if you can get the timing correct with the mounting holes in the DLE,your good.You could use a hose clamp and mount the sensor where you need it.At lease this way you will eliminate the ignition as the trouble.

Hate to strip a running da 60. I guess have bite the bullet and buy a new ing box. Sucks im waiting on disability almost a year now.

I know what your talking about.I know someone that has been dealing with the VA for two years now trying to get benefits,from Agent Orange.
Good Luck.

Not right , for sure, VA should do whats Right for are VETS, My grandson going into the navy nuke engineering . Starting working at the age of 12 im 60 now 48 years of working, had 2 back surgery's and need one more. Just not right.

what is a gaser tank stopper are you talking about the plug that the brass tubes go thru
