WHAT?! No blue paint??!! That does it for me.
Okay, me bad for remembering wrong. They differ only by about 6 Oz. More than likely not enough difference to worry about. The 5lbs 10 Oz. engine I recalled was acutally a Walker 4.2 I am working on for a friend.
The latest G-62 still has the steel mounting plate. I got a B&B cup mount instead. Ralph, did you have to cut off the rear shaft in order to fit the EI module? I don't mind loosing a couple of Oz. there, but like you said elsewhere, the front and rear shafts are exactly the same. In case of crash bend front shaft, just swap ends.
Ralph, I am curious to find out what your G-62 RPM readings will be with the new style muffler. I don't have any reading with the old style muffler to compare against.
I agree about the small mounting screws on the Fuji. Besides, I don't know why they don't just make the aluminum mount one piece. It will be stronger and can't possibly weigh that much more. I like Fuji engines, especially the 86T, which is surprisingly lightweight after EI conversion. But all Zenoahs except G-38 have external coil, which lowers the conversion kit cost and also makes installing the ignition module much easier.
