RE: RCGF Engines
sailr, Himodel.com has the stock muffler for the rcgf 20 for $16.64. Part # P20-14. I got a pitts muffler for the 20, from them a few months ago for $28, but didn't see it on their web site. Might have missed it, check them out. Duane

Just a heads up that the stock muffler is 3 oz and the himodels pitts muffler is heavier by another couple oz AND you loose a few hundered rpm with it, it is a good price though and quietens the engine down nicely.

I bought a 20cc rcgf and it's been around the shop a while. I installed it on an airplane and somehow the muffler has disappeared!! Dang! The airplane is ready to go except for a muffler. The cost for replacement mufflers for the rcgf engines is a bit outragious! $30 for a 20cc single stack muffler and $68 for a pitts style?
Anybody know where I can find a better deal than that? Anybody that upgraded to the pitts want to sell the stock muffler?
HELP!
Grounded in Florida!

I checked Himodel and the muffler is the price you quote but shipping is another $16 so it is no bargain.

RE: RCGF Engines
OK, I received the new iginition and had the same problem. I gave up now and pulled the engine. I thought the reed valves may be the problem but they looked fine. I pulled the carb apart and cleaned it. I didn't notice anything wrong with the diaphram or anything else. The carb doesn't have any numbers or name on it that I can find so I can't tell what model or make of carb to replace it with. Now that I cleaned the carb I will try running it again and see if I can get it to run.

Hi Roger,
If it is the real deal it should be a "HLIC". This is the China version of the Walbro. It is even made in the same factory as the China Walbro. I don't have Walbro carbs I do have the HLIC replacements and if you prefer I carry Tillotsons as a replacement. If you want send it to me and I will mess with it for a while to see if I can straighten it out. Your call,

RE: RCGF Engines
Roger,
I noticed your problem sounded the same as mine when I got my RCGF 65 new. It turned out to be the spark plug. I switched from the china import to a NGK plug and all the problems went away. If you are using the China plug I suggest you get a good one from NGK and give it a try.
Good luck,
Forest

Sailr,
I dont know if you have an oreilly auto parts close to you but, around here they have the plugs for less than 3 dollars. Or the hobby store for 8 + dollars.

Ok I guess I need to find the O'Rielly Auto Parts in Tucson because our O'Rielly Auto Parts store has them listed for $7.00 for the NGK and $11.00 for the Champion but they never have them in stock. Unless I order the intire box, I think that is 20 plugs, the store will not order them in.
