Thanks for all of your advice. The manufactures of my G6Power motor saw this post and said, not to worry, they would get me airborne again, even if that meant sending me a new engine. We tried a few things, that didn't work; and so I took them up on their offer of a new engine. Apparently the problem with the old motor was with the piston (difficult to diagnose). I got the brand new (& shiny) engine at Christmas, and had my first flight yesterday (over some fantastic scenery of snow covered hills in Scotland). They engine is great, started first time, even in the sub-zero temperatures, and had plenty of power. And I have been most impressed with the manufacture, they have been very helpful and seem to care about their end-users, thank you. Happy flying Simon

Thanks Phil, Should keep me busy this weekend in the garage. Simon

Thanks guys, It's only 9 months old, and I've only done 20-30 hours on it. I've tried repacking the silencer (but I haven't replaced the material with new stuff). I assume it isn't reaching full revs (should be over 9,000), but I don't have a rev counter to check.

Any advice? My engine just isn't producing enough power; even with no trimmers or speed bar I am only just maintaining height on full power. It was fine, and I have tried everything I can think of (tuning, cleaning carb, new spark plug, belt tension, new petrol, tighten thottle cable), over the past couple of months - but I've run out of ideas now. It starts, picks-up and runs fine, and sounds OK, it just isn't producing enought oomph. Any ideas would be gratefully recieved. I'm 11st flying a G6 Power 100cc motor (BlackHawk) with a Dudek reAction. Thanks Simon
