That is a Ralph Cunningham G62 light conversion, you will not find a better engine anywhere than that one.
The plug on the side of the cup mount is for the power to the ignition.

RE: Questions Regarding Older Zenoah Engine
Can I get an after market Ignition for it BadAzzMaxx? I think I struck gold here, this engine has so much compression it wants to wring my wrist whenever I turn the prop shaft, very good engine, yes sir.

Ralph is called Antique here on the forums, If you have a problem with that engine I would contact him, He knows that engine inside out.
I do replacement carry ignitions if you want to go that route.

No CH has closed for now, But again, Hook up a battery to the red connector on the side of the cup.
The ignition uses the existing Zenoah coil and the electronic board in the cup mount is what fires it.

Why do you want to buy a ignition when you have one that should work.
To use my ignitions you have to remove the one in the cup mount, Remove the existing coil and then install a connector to the sensor lead wire.

I did not get one with the engine.

Unless I'm badly mistaken that's the ignition inside the cup mount at the rear of the engine.

RE: Questions Regarding Older Zenoah Engine
Very neat idea, when I first got the engiine I was uncertain what the heck the setup was, was it a kill switch or ignition, found out all about here on RCU, thanks alot guys, all inputs were quite helpful.
