Wow. A really informative post. Thank you. I've been fairly pleased
with my Tiico engine (except for poor gas mileage...which I attribute
to me not knowing how to set up the parameters correctly). I don't have
and never had a vibration issue. I do have a few bones to pick with the
installers of my Tiico (gas lines not properly tightened, bolts not
tightened) which could have had nasty consequences. I also realize they
didn't set the parameters in the engine (but I'm learning how to and
hope to make use of your post here to get better at this myself.)

In fact, despite the loud complaints, I've been planning on getting
another Tiico for my camper (the current one is in my passenger
Vanagon). But have been waiting until I resolved the issues with my
current one. With such an informative post as yours, I hope to be one
step closer to putting another order in.

Thanks for joining the list, and please try to stick around as
knowledgable folks such as yourself (who are also able to speak from
direct daily experience) are a really valuable commodity that can only
benefit the list.
