coil mountings broken off on us 41 engine is this a total loss or is there a fairly simple fix to this problem, or should i just throw away and start over. looks like it might be cheaper to buy a new one. is this a common problem with this type of coil mounting on this type engine and if so what would be a better choice for a gas engine to eliminate this problem.

Well looking on the other side...... how much does that coil and flywheel weigh? compared to an CH type elec ign. system!!!!
Might be a good time to lighten up your engine.
I'm not aware of any method of easily or otherwise replacing the mount post(s). If you must throw it away....just box it up and PM me for shipping instructions

Price a new cylinder....

bigstick,
Same thing happened to me. Very early in the life of the US41. No crashes, not even a prop strike. I bought the CH ignition system and it has been the best move yet. Easy to install. Figure the weight savings of taking the spring starter off too.
Have fun!

I have a friend that had this same thing happen on 2 different Quadar 42's. Another friend did a weld job on the lugs and the engines kept on flying. I realize that everyone dosen't have a buddy with a TIG welder but there are options to either chunking the engine or going electronic route. It can be done, the question is it worth it to you?
