How hot does the ignition module get?
I am using the stock ignition module with the Zenoah G20. The angle of the fuel inlet on the carb is such that the fuel line will rest against the front of the ignition module.
Will this cause any problems, i.e. too hot for the fuel line etc?
Thanks

Any time you heat up fuel you're asking for problems. Permit me to better qualify that. Anytime you heat up gasoline. Some fuels need to be heated for best atomization. Ignitions can get quite warm, especially if located close to the engine and/or exhaust system.

Maybe, but I really doubt it. I do have a carb that will vapor lock on occasion because of my baffling. Why not move the module?? If you can't put a piece of foam, etc as insulation between them.

The inlet nipple on your carb is a press fit. Though it is snug, it will move. You can turn it to better suit your installation. Just be careful, the plastic on the OEM inlet nipples can crack, grab and turn it at the base, not the bend.
