Changing to a more efficient ignition on the Zenoah G20
#1
Hello. I'm considering getting the G20 as my first gasser. I heard some stories/rumors (call it what you will) on the power hungry G20 stock ignition setup and also heard that there's a conversion that you can get to remedy the situation. Can anyone give me a link for a conversion website or a retailer that sells these conversions or point me in the right direction? Any opinions on this switch would also be appreciated.

It's not a story or a rumor, it's the truth. An RC exl ignition from CH Ignitions is an ideal replacement for the Zenoah unit and is basically a plug and play affair.

I can not over state the positive experience I have had with <font color="#800080">www.ch-ignitions.com/</font></p><p style="MARGIN-BOTTOM: 0in">I have owned a Zenoah G20 for a few years now. Not long after I purchased this great little engine I had to send it back to Zenoah. They were very good at servicing it and sent it back to me with a new ignition. Not long after I continued to have problems and guys at the club kept telling me to sell the G20. </p><p style="MARGIN-BOTTOM: 0in">Bottom line is it took me no longer than an hour to take out the Zenoah ignition and install the C. H. Ignition. My only regret is that I had not purchased the CH ignition a few years ago! The G20 sounds great, starts right up and my life with the G20 has changed dramatically.</p><p style="MARGIN-BOTTOM: 0in">The C. H. Ignition for this engine is a must! Yes I need to say that the folks at C. H. Ignitions gave me superior service to boot.</p><p style="MARGIN-BOTTOM: 0in">How did I find out about this great solution? RC Universe and Karol.</p><p style="MARGIN-BOTTOM: 0in">

Thank you Karol,
We have sold over 100 ignition conversions for the G-20 . The G 20 is a monster little engine . I do not have one but TKG does . It turns somthing like 9100 on a 17x6 He has a mini pipe on it.
I have a G 26 on a Ultra lite stick also a great little motor.On C&H of course.

Good for you Najee. That CG Sukhoi sounds like a real good matchfor a G26, and of course we all know which ignition it will be running on. I have a RC Ign.converted G23 /CH ignition anda G20 /RCexl ignition and neither have missed a beat from day one.</p>
