    Older DA-150 throttle question !

    DLE-55 spitting too much gas back .

    Just noticed a whole bunch of fuel on my throttle servo, which is pretty close to the back of the motor, or carb. I just leaned the eng. out more , mostly on the bottom end a couple weeks ago. I did forget to turn on the optikill switch once & it was really flooded when I removed the plug.  Do I...
