You should expect about 7500-8000rpm on the 18x8 (depending on fuel/brand etc) and idling rpm below 2000. On board glow is not required and if a cylinder drops out its just letting you know its tuned incorrectly and wants a tweak!
That sounds good there are still parts and just the head bolts are different. The 200V should be more than enough for the Ercoupe as it calls for a 26cc gas. I originally wanted it for a GTM D8 for it but settled on the Ercoupe for now. Maybe someday after I am tired of the Ercoupe I will go for the D8.
Here are the specs for the Ziroli Ercoupe.
Scale: 2.66" - 1'
Wingspan: 80"
Length: 53"
Wing Area: 900 sq/in
Weight: 26lbs
Power: 26cc gas
