Anyone have, or know where I can get, a pre-2010 ECU for my gas start Wren 44? I figured someone may have had their engine converted to kero start which would require the early ECU to be replaced with the newer one. This is the one I have...…and need a replacement.![](https://cimg5.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.rcuniverse.com-vbulletin/2000x1389/ecu_447048174bb22a052c5c097703bf73110634689d.jpg)
Thanks,
Rich

Hi Rich
have you tried contacting Wren to see if they might have the older ECU as they take the older ones in when they do an upgrade , at least thatt way you know you are getting a working one ?

Thanks for the suggestion, Stegl. Tried exactly that and the folks at wrenpowersystems.com were extremely helpful. Bought a replacement early ECU and we're back up and running. Thanks again!

bearing change by previous owner . Had a little issue with the pump as it had sat for several years but fixed that on my own. Runs flawlessly
with propane start . Just had to replace one glow plug ( regular rc type... cheap as heck) so far .

Either that is one of the first ones ever made or it almost appears to have been rewrapped with heat shrink...... ?
You might try looking at putting in a wanted add in RCgroups to see if you can find one. Supposedly they have a new buyer
in the wings to keep things going. The Wren 44 TP I have has the older ECU and when I need service ; subject to them reopening;
one of the first things I will do is upgrade to the new Xicoy V10 ECU as those should be available for a long time to go as the older ESC's will gradually dry up.

Thanks steal. Actually, a lot of the early version Wren 44 Manual Start engines had this style of Fadec. Just have a look at the first few images here: LINK
Anyway, i think I may have figured out my problem. Fingers crossed!

I have just received my Wren 44 TP back from Turbine Solutions in England and am more than happy with the major service I needed.
Highly recommended.
