Fred,
    Steve sounds a bit green in the gills.   Steve,
you are right about it being gutless but the
waterboxer is far from unreliable.   If properly
maintained I would say that it is extremely reliable.
Most breakdowns on the road are due to the owner
neglecting to maintain them or not fixing a problem
they know needs to be fixed.   What is truely nice
about these engines are the simplicity and of course
this vast source of knowledge called the list.
             peace to you all, gary

Unreliable?
How can you say this?
Most of all the wasserboxers machines I have seen all
have big miles to
them.
Slow yes.
Unreliable, no.
Much charactor, yes
Good Morning

Fred

I know money should not be an issue when you own a
Vanagon (that's why
they are always looking for drivers) but anyone care
to suggest what
the
first purchase should be???
Conversion kit and a different kind of motor? I think
that's probably
the only permanent cure. I can hardly wait to get rid
of my
wasserboxer,
it's really hard to love a motor that's gutless AND
unreliable...
Steve
