I've owned two of these over the years (the first is over 20 yrs old) and haven't had any problems. The newer of the two is about 6 yrs old, and is just now being run in for use in my daughters trainer (she's all of two yrs old! ) so assuming the trainer lives for a couple of years, she'll actually get to fly it. Until then, I'll have to test it out.................... at any rate, the G90s always start and run well.

its a great engine. takes breakin of an hour or more before it idles well, so keep this in mind. they do well with apc 14-6 props on my warbirds. i use an idle bar plug at first until they break in fully. then you can tune the needles a little leaner and go to to a non idle bar plug if you want. they do like to run with a faint/little smoke trail.

the coil is attached to a small metal bar at the bottom of the plug it get hot but the main idea is it prevents the cold fuel charge from
cooling the wire element which if course happens the engine quits.. I never got that far since mine is now a davis diesel conversion
they are good strong engines martin
