Help with Solo 2350

[Limus]

Hi,

Anybody can recommend a person who knows Solo engines or at least who
is experienced with 2 stroke engines ? Preferably in Southern
California or close by. I need help to diagnose a problem with my Solo
2350 engine.

Thanks,

Limus

You will find many solo 2350 owners on these 2 boards

The first required you to be a DG owner but the second
is open to anyone.

I also have a one in my DG808B. What is the problem?

Thanks Gary, I signed up for ASA group.

The problem my Solo is having is a puzzle. It was working perfectly
fine until I received new propeller from the factory (I think somebody
found a crack on the older model of the propeller). After I put new
prop on I am only able to get ~2300 rpms out of it, comparing to ~5300
rpms before. I had to slam shaft really hard in order to get old
prop/magneto off, but other then that nothing else changed. New prop is
same pitch/diameter, designed for the same engine, plus there are other
people who did the same replacement and had no problems. I put in new
spark plugs and checked gaps, checked fuel supply, checked gaps between
ignition coils and magneto, checked ignition wires. I couldn't manage
to see any spark from any of the spark plugs while turning prop on the
ground, but I did try running with one or another spark plug connected
at a time, engine started in both cases and got up to the same 2300
rpms.

The glider is Lak-17AT.
