I am trying to nail down prices so I can get to ordering. The guy I talked with was professional sounding and seemed concerned about my concerns with the motor and such. Given the sometimes unreliable nature of rebuilt air-cooled motors a company that a) knows what they are doing and b) will stand behind the occasional goof is c) worth their weight in gold. People have had problems with their engines in the past but I haven't yet heard some the real horror stories I have heard about from companies like ECI or MOFOCO. When they goof they go the extra mile to get things straight. Or so it seems. I think I will be ordering from them for the same reasons I will pay a little more for parts from Rocky Mountain Motor Works. Indications are that you will get what you order and they will stand behind it after the sale. Please insert your opinion below. I am about to spend a chuck of change. Jim -- James A.
