Re: dle 55 good or bad

If you want I have a dle 55 with about half a gallon through it I can sell you for $300.00 plus shipping. Send me a PM if interested. Comes with original ignition and muffler but no stand offs.

Re: dle 55 good or bad

I used to have the older version (DL50) and that engine pulled like hell.

Cheers,
