Default RE: G20 ei won't start anymore

Hi Walt,

No, they aren't. I had 40 successful flights before the problem has shown up.
What is strange, is that I removed the carb today, and filled directly the cylinder with gasoline and still, the engine won't start.
With regards to my initial post, I can see the spark is OK.
Could it be a problem of ignition timing ?
The magnet is still in position and nothing is loose or broken.
The spark plug was dark and greasy, indicating that the low end setting was a little too rich.
Also, I noticed that the piston was brown for let's say the first 1/3 inch.

I don't know if the problem occured in flight, or is a consequence of the bad landing.
I'm more and more prone to consider that this was an in-flight problem.

Happy flying,

Mike
