 I got a very large photo....easy to make smaller....hold the crt key down and spin the thumb-wheel on your mouse to make it the right size.  Nice home built starter.  Good job.   Capt,n

All I did was remove the spark plug to drain the oil I had put in the engine to guard against corrosion, opened up the carb to check the mesh filter and the diaphrams, spray the innards with carb cleaner, give it a good blow out incl. the needle seats with comp. air and buttoned it all back together. Connected it to a gas tank with 32:1 fuel, and with both needles opened at 2 turns, choked the engine to fill the carb with fuel, and after a few spins on it's Terroid spring the engine roared into life. Just can't beat the overall reliability of a mag ignition.

Status: offline 		I still have one NIB G23 late edition and one NIB Ralph Cunningham G26 Lite that I have been holding on to, waiting for my cataract operation to be done and over with. They, or I should say, their siblings, were wonderful engines. I still have a new, unrun, Brillelli 36cc engine also. Talk about rare these days.

I am still kicking myself as I recently let one the latest models G23 slip through my fingers. It was almost NIB and mine for the taking, but procrastination on my part caused me to lose it.

Sorry about that, I think I even shrunk it from the original size On all the computers I've seen it on it is a reasonable size but if you have your resolution set low the pic will be large...

Please explain what a ''CD unit'' is. Is this a magneto system?


CD means capacitive discharge. Some utility engines use a CD ignition meaning that the points have been done away with and a capacitive discharge system replaces them. However, they still have a magneto to generate the spark. An electronic capacitive discharge system (ECDI) replaces the magneto with a multivibrator and a coil that generates the spark and stores the high voltage in a capacitor and discharges it through a thyristor. However, some people simply refer to the ECDI system we use in some of our engines as CDI, which works for most though not entirely correct.
