DLE 111 carb leaking
I have a brand new DLE 111 twin cylinder.
But If I close the choke and flip the prop, he leaks benzin and do not get him to start.
pleas help me out!
The engine is in a colmbia 400 from pilot-rc.
so the carb is under the cylinders.

I'm not sure but what you describe might be normal for a twin with the carb located below the reeds. Let me explain: With the carb mounted below the engine, when you choke the engine and flip the prop, you have to flip it enough so some gas gets up through the reeds and into the engine. In the process, much more fuel is choked into the carb than will flow through the engine so some of it has to go somewhere, so it drips out the carb. This is normal for most every twin with this configuration. Choke then flip until you get a pop, open the choke and start the engine .... ignore any excess fuel that might drip out during the choking process.
Now if the carb continues to drip fuel you might have a metering needle problem which should be checked and repaired if necessary. Just be sure you're not trying to correct a normal condition before diving into the carb.

suplier say: and I quote strange he must start.
so back to basic and needles in and try all over again.
one of my clubmembers will bring my a other carburator so when he will not start at all, I replace it and see if this Works.
after going true all settings we take out a sparkplug too see if there will be a spark.
Not anny spark comming from plug, so we think it is the ignition.
