All my Zenoah G engines are from Japan. The only China made engine I own is the DLE 55 in my RC Guys Super Decathlon....great engine and I would by another.

Hate to burst your bubble but Zenaoh engines are now made in China.

So if you buy one according your post you are (Quote why would you support a communist faction )

prove it.
No problem

Now in no way am I saying this downgrades Zenoah engines, They still are one of the best RC engines ever made.

Anyone that has worked in a hard chroming shop will tell you that a freshly chromed cylinder is anything but smooth. The hard chrome has fuzz sticking up from every slight projection or imperfection as well all outside corners like the edges of the ports. The hard chroming process must be refinished (honed, ground, or burnished) before it is usable as we know it.

Default Zenoah Engines

To: psgugrad

I know this is an old thread but the silly statement you made about Zenoah engines going down the crapper deserves a response!

Have you ever run a Zenoah engine and have first hand experience? What "facts" are you basing your comment on?

Zenoah engines are extremely well made, are ULTRA reliable, are very long lasting and nearly indestructible. Plus they are made with high quality materials, unlike many of the $1.99 chicom engines! Also, many of us prefer the ease of operation and simplicity of a magneto engine instead of a separate ignition system, extra battery and switch.

Most likely you will go down the crapper long before Zenoah engines!

I have to laugh, the OP was correct….Zenoah is not carried anymore. Only the 60+ yr old crowd would even be interested. They are difficult to fit in airplanes, side carbs suck! Always needed to buy a replacement muffler. Sure, if you had Ralph Cunningham strip off the unnecessary crap, chop the tail off the crank and add a C&H ignition, you could have a good engine. Those mounted up in airplanes I’m sure will run great until planted in the ground.
