Could anyone help me with the points gap on the 41 G quadras. Also--does anyone know if a Electronic ignition can be put on these engines? I know of the B&B points eliminators but would like to get rid of the fly wheel and mag weight Thanks Hooker53

Points gap should be 25 thou. I believe that CH Electronics makes an ignition system for your engine.

Spark gap is 25 thou. Point gap is 15 thou. CH works great on these engines,

Point gap at 15 to 20 thousands of an inch.

I had a Q-42 and had to close the point gap to .012 to get it to run at full throttle.

I think the recommended gap is molded into the plastic points cover. .015" rings a bell.

Do you have a steel prop hub? If so, remove the muffler and look inside at the ring(s). 1 ring=35cc, 2 rings=40cc. It is possible to have a later model 40 with one ring, but I believe it has the aluminum prop hub.

Thanks to all that replyed. and Bdtsr---you are right on the ID. Mine is the Alum hub with one ring. Of coarse we could always P&G it. Ha. Ha. Man what extremes. I think we have enough in the know folks around here to keep from doing that. I was glad to hear that the CH-Ign. work well on these engines. I will have to call Terry and see what he has. Bound to lose alot of #s by ridding ones self of the fly wheel and the Mag. Just looking at the front end. The hook-up will be very Diff. than on the Homelite Weedies. Don't know where you would have a longer Hub with the magnet in the rear or a thin Alum wheel behind the hub. Later and thanks Hooker53

OOOh Noooo.
The CH conversion for the US/Quadra 41 won't bolt on to a points engines, if your a little crafty you can make a bracket that will work.
The crank is longer on a points engine so the air gap between the sensor and magnet is a bit large.
There arn't enough point engines left to tool up a bracket for them[]
