Convert a G-38 to electronic ignition?
 

Can anyone tell me if it would be worth it to convert a G-38 to EI and where is the best place to get it converted? Also... I have heard that Zenoahs run much better if they are balanced by an aftermarket professional. Anyone have any comments on that?

Thanks,

BALANCE
 

I would also like to know if the balance job works and who performs this option. Thanks Captinjohn

G-38
 

Ch Electronics has an bolt on ignition set up for the G-38. Counter rotating is also possible. Bad new is the cost.
Most Zenoahs are balanced correctly, but the G-38 has a long hub and a prop strike can twist the crank. A crooked engine is a vibrator for sure

Both RC ignition and CH electronics make conversions for the G38......I beleive RC Ign do the conversion and I have used the CH bolt on set up successfully.......
Whether its worth it to you is a personal decision...It wont add much to the top end,it will smooth out the midrange some,and it will improve the idle and hand starting (no backfire) quite a bit.....some significant weight savings too ,Im not sure exactly how much on the G 38,but its about 10oz on a Quadra 400 or Ryobi .
I have never heard of any magic aftermarket balancing procedure for the G38 or any other two stroke single for that matter.....

One of the US importers of Quadra engines used to balance Q-35 flywheels for a fee.

Thanks!
 

Thanks for the posts guys. I tried RC Ignition but they don't seem to use email (no reply).

I think RC's out racing, should be back next week.

Don't give up on RC ignition! He does a beautiful job for the G-38. The ignition is self-contained in a custom aluminum back plate/mount. It is the smoothest running best starting gas engine I have! An electronic ignition will really smooth out a magneto engine.

Great! I'll be patient :D
