As far as Zenoahs are concerned, there is a reason they have been around for a long time. I have 2 that have been converted by Ralph Cunningham to electronic ignition and both as solid, strong and very reliable

If you are really considering the g38 have it delivered right to Ralph and have him convert it. He guarantees his work for the life of the engine. You can contact him right here on RCU. Just send a private message (PM) to RCIGN1

Heck, contact him first. He may even have one already done
