Description PLEASE NOTE – This is a glow engine not gas but could be converted if you wanted to but the glow engine produces1/2 hp more than the petrol one. The description from the US agents (SVENSON SPECIALTIES) describes it as follows: “The Zenoah G23 Glow engine is essentially the same engine as the G23 Gasoline engine. The primary differences between the 2 engines, are the lack of a magneto and flywheel, the addition of a glow plug adapter and a methanol carburetor on the glow engine” “To set the G23Glow engine up for running, it is recommended that a “non nitro” fuel mixture is used. A mixture of 5 ounces of Blendzall Racing Castor to 1 gallon of methanol provides a reliable fuel mixture. An “idle-bar” type glow plug is not recommended for the G-23 Glow engine” In my opinion it would be very easy for an experienced modeler to fit electronic ignition with a commercially available sensor mount (C&H for example sometimes listed on trade me!) A change of carb gaskets etc. to accommodate petrol would also be required. This motor has never seen fuel. Here is a link to the instruction manual. zenoah instruction manual (horizonhobby.com)
