Default RE: 40-50cc engine


ORIGINAL: Scott Ellingson

That engine is not a true G62. BCMA was going to sell it until he found out it was a clone made in China. The real G62 is made in Japan. That is why it is so cheap. I have delat with the guy in China that is doing it. That means no support from Zenoah, or any Zenoah dealer.
I am no Ralph Cunningham but I do know a lot about Zenoah engines. Check the back of the cylinder to see if Zenoah name is cast into the cylinder. If it is than the cylinder is genuine Zenoah. There are a lot of Zenoah clones and copies out there manufactured in China. I have been invited many times by these manufactures to resell them but I am just not in the knock-off engine business.

BTW, I stopped doing the Zenoah conversion for a couple of reasons.

The source of cheap G-62s kind of dried up.

They were slow selling even at $425.00!!

Profit margin was slim so they were not really worth the effort especially when I had to carry the warranty on them.

I will be selling the EI conversion kits for them again as well as all the other Zenoah Engines. All parts will be machined in the USA by a very reputable and well known company.
