intermittent spark

Im getting an intermittent on my Zenoah G20ei. What do you fine folks think is the most probable place to look: the hall sensor or the module?

RE: intermittent spark

It would be a good time to change it over to a RCEXL ignition.

Did you make sure your battery was maintaining voltage?

RE: intermittent spark

That Zenoah ignition needs a fully charged battery in good shape. Check that real good...and all connections and switch. Capt,n

My plane lost a wheel in flight, and my one wheel landing was bad enough to tear out the gear. All repaired, however, my G20 ignition is "not the same". Intermittent spark drove me nuts trying to figure out what was wrong. It would spark, pop once or twice but could not get it to run. Replaced it with RCEXL and ran it today. All is well!.
