RE: Identify unknown engines
$2000 bux?? LOL, Not even close to that but decent enough to get you started into gas engines. Have fun and before you know it you will want more engines....

RE: Identify unknown engines
Well, $2000 would be 285 each. I could see some being worth a little more, but most would be less. Depending on who wanted one. Regardless, it would be easy to get my $150 back!
I am not new to gas, but just not a historian, so I needed some help figuring out what was what. Mainly to help with prop selection. Honestly, I would be happier if they were all mag engines, and if they were EI, they were all modern RCxcel type.

So what would be the opinions on these older ignitions? Would I be better off updating them to RCxcel or using them as is? I am not fond of the mechanical advance, although I am sure it works. Just seems like something else to go wrong.

I have the pics up. I am doing one post per engine to aid in clarity. Here is one I need identified. It has a ''44''on the front of the cylinder. It looks to be in the 40 cc range. It has a Walbro 21-245 carb, and it also has the CH ignition. Does not have an mechanical advance on ignition. This is a very high quality engine. Any thoughts?

Here is another one. It is mostly painted black. Not sure if this was stock or not. Magneto, side carb, Spring starter. Looks like a
Bennett mount From the size appears to be in the 30cc size. Any ideas?

On we go! The lettering on the front of the cylinder sais, 44zn18. This looks to be between 45-65 cc. CH ignition with mechanical advance. Odd wooden disc used to mount the hall sensor.Smooth lower case, polished. Top end looks a lot like a G62. Any ideas here?

This one is big. Maybe a 75cc? Front case sais, 49ZN2. Bottom end smoothly finished, top end looks like a Zenoah, Fuel line running from carb to case, Wooden disc for hall sensor, CH ignition as well. Mechanical advance on ignition. Thoughts?

Another big and very nice engine. It sais Made in Canada on the case. Interesting feature on this one is a sort of compression release pin on the top front of cylinder. When pushed down, compression decreases and you can hear the bleed off. Raise it, and the compression is strong with no hiss. Interesting carb mount. It has a tapered block mounted to block of engine. Tillotson carb, CH ignition.
Pretty cool all this stuff!

This G 62 was the main reason I bought the box. I was looking at it in the dark and was not really sure what I had. I was impressed with this G38 as well. Not sure about these ignitions, but they certainly have a good reputation.
So what is the starting procedure with that RCA jack? Is the ignition battery kept behind the backplate on these engines? Then a substitute battery is needed to get it running?
Again any info would be great. I fly warbirds mostly, so, I think these engines will all be usefull. I am not trying to get the light weight powerhouse like the IMACC guys.
Not bad for $150 huh?
