If you have a NAPA auto parts you can also look and see is they might have any of these model numbers.

Denso #U20M-U ( This is a Great plug)
AC Delco M8
Champion Y82
Motorcraft BT8

Any of these will be an NGK CM6 look alike....

Kind Regards,

Status: offline 		Lordy, lordy I found my problem!! The hall sensor lead that runs back up under the mount into the fuselage had come partially unplugged. I had the plastic keeper on the lead, but apparently was just enough slack that it was not plugged in tightly. Hope this might help some of you other guys with similar problems. I'm suprised that is would run at all, but apparently makeing enough contact to fire and then with vibration started breaking down.

Status: offline 		I bought a RCGF 50 with rear carb from Raves.com. Left it in the box for about a year or so, because my damaged Wildhare Honda Sukhoi was not ready yet. After the repairs were done I installed the new RCGF 50 in her nose replacing my good old reliable DL-50. When I first fired up the motor it ran terribly. It sputtered and wouldn't respond to the throttle. I put another carb on it, same result. I started to think I bought me a piece of junk. Then I found out mt MPI- Miracle switch was causing ingniton problems by cutting off intermittently. After fixing that issue the motor ran fine. As a matter of fact, it runs better than my old DL-50 and has definitely more power. I am still breaking it in, but with every new tank I can feel the great power this motor has. So far I am very pleased with it considering what I paid for it. Unfortunately I cannot find this particular motor anymore on Rave's website. Only Hobbyking advertises it as a RCG 50. I wonder if this is the same motor, because it truely could be the DLE-killer, as they say.

Status: offline 		If it is an RCGF 50cc engine it is at least 3+ years old. I have not been able to get a 50cc single from the factory for over three years now. I can't even get replacement parts for them.
I have heard that there was some very old RCGF stock floating around but I can't verify that. What did the box it came in look like? Let me know and I can tell you what you have.

Thats a video taken today of my  hobbyking RCG 50 with a xoar 23 8 carbon running slightly rich,  only a gallon through her and I have not touched the needles since the second tank with another prop. The RCG 50 from hobbyking is actually a 55cc.  It has the RCGF 55 crank, head and piston. Dont think she is a DLE beater but is not far off it.

Dont have a RCGF 55 but if I did I bet it would be a great motor.

Status: offline 		Ok if it was a blue box with the nose of a YAK-54 on one side and the 50cc engine on the other it is an RCGF 50cc. They made two models back in the day, if it is a cast case it would be an "A" model and if it was a CNC case it would be a "B" model.

Kind Regards,

Status: offline 		Good Point. Gregg may still have some NOS on this engine. I would call Gregg at BP Hobbies and see if he has what you need. If he does not have what the part you need then your only choice for this engine would be Hobby King. But Try Gregg First.

Status: offline 		Thanx AHicks. I have not been able to get new replacement parts for the 50cc single engines from RCGF for some time now. I just used up the last of my NOS parts to repair a 50cc "A" model engine for a flyer in Ca. So I am taped out right now. As I said Gregg may have some still. If not we can probably find the left over parts elsewhere (aka) Hobby King or I still have contacts at SV Group that may still make parts for this particular engine.

SIDE NOTE: If I have mentioned this before sorry for the repeat! I have had a lot of repair work lately on engines that have set for a while with fuel in the carb. Some of this repair work might be avoided by running your engine "DRY" after you drain your fuel at the end of your flying day. Remember that the gas we have had to use for some time now has at least 10% alcohol/methanol in it and sometime more. The carb parts that were made to run with gas don't like this much and will go bad faster when left exposed to this fuel combo. This is also the reason we can't get much more than about 6 to 8 months out of our standard Tygon fuel line before it gets stiff and hard. We have developed fuel line and tank stoppers that are better suited to today's fuels but the carb parts are a much harder build.

Status: offline 		Thanks captmicom. Hopefully I will not need any parts (soon), if this engine performs nearly as good, as my good ol' trusty DL-50 did. So far, so good. After about five years of usage I just put a new seal kit in my DL's Walbro-carb. Other tan that, the motor shows no signs of aging. Still running strong.

Thanks a million for your response.  I was thinking of getting a Walbro because my DLE30 carb eventually starting acting up and nothing I did would correct the issues.  Can you recommend a Walbro?

Thanks
