Default RE: mvvs 1.60 gasser

Thanks Pé for the suggestion.

The engine started to behave like this after the model fell 2 meters on a concrete floor in the garage. It landed on the right side and I can see that the spark-plug cap has been bent. See picture. The spark plug seems to be OK.

I suspect the ingition. I have disassembled the carburettor and did not see any dirt in the fuel filter. The suction seems to be OK.

I have cleaned the spark plug and I can see some spark, but I think it is very weak. (I carefully grounded the spark plug to the engine while doing it).

The engine does not start even if I spray some starting fluid (ether) directly in to the carburettor, so I suspect the ignition.

I think it would be wise to replace both the ignition and spark plug. Shall I use ignition conversion set 3314-3094? There are two types of spark plugs; UR17 and CM6. Which one shall I use? Anything else I need?

By the way. I am using the old carb, but drilled it out some years ago. Works well. I am also using a quite pipe.
