Hi, my fairly new (about 2 hrs flight time) quit abruptly in the air and hasn't started since. There seems to be lots of fuel and the plug sparks niicely when grounded outside the hole. Before I send it in, are there any suggestions. New plug did't help. Sometimes I get a backfire, Once got about 3 seconds of normal run then nothing. TIA, Tex.

Seems like a lot of folks are having a lot of ignition related problems with their G20's. Save yourself some unnecessary grief and do what several have already done. Replace the ignition with a CH unit and be able to really enjoy that gem of an engine.

If its still under warranty send it back, if not then we have a package for the G-20.
BUT first check the wires on the sensor we have reports of some breaking. It may be an intermitant connection. Also a bad plug cap will fire outside the engine but under compression will break down.

Thanks. A pal has had grief with his ign system too, so I fear the worst. I might go the after market system, as I've had several big engines with the CH stuff and never had any problem. My thoughts are if I get the repairs done to the Zenoah box I've still got a suspect engine. The initial quit cost me a beautiful nearly new Ultimate, and I probably wouldn't trust it.

That's why it pays to keep a Stik of some kind around for testing engines, radios and servos.

True enough, Ed, but my failure was on about the twentieth flight. And immediately after an inverted snap right after rotation on take-off. Worst possible time.

P.S. There's a CH unit on the way. T.
