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!
Have you looked at the price of a Macs muffler for a 2 stroke lately. $30 is a very good deal.

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

The pitts muffler at himodel is a great deal. Unfortunately, if you look closely, it says DISCONTINUED.

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,

I have a new 20cc. I hope I don't have the troubles some are having! I'm mounting it up now. Hope to test run it later this week.

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

Sounds like spark plug breaking down to me. Try a new plug and see if it run right. I have seen new plugs go bad for whatever reason.

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.

Our auto parts stores have them for $7.00 for the NGK and $11.00 for the Champion so if you can buy them for $3.00 let me know where that store is.

O'Rielly Auto Parts has been selling them for 3 something (3.95?)

I think their Cm-6 number is 5812, but that's from memory, needs to be double checked!

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.

The O'Reillys here will order in a box, sell you how many you want, then return the unsold plugs. They don't stock them but have them the next morning.

Champion is out of the loop. They don't make one like this. Champion is not the company that it once was.

The correct number is NGK CM-6

The Champion plug number is "Y82" but if you can find them they can be a bit pricy.
