We have tried a few local engine builders and they want to earth and take a age to come through with the goods. Unfortunatly here in Western Australia we dont have a lot of choice. Something like that would be more that twice the price even with the cost of shipping and money conversion rates! We dont expect to get a warranty, just one of the risks we will have to take. At the end of the day we do the research and that allows us to make an informed decision.
I have tried to contact one of the ebayers that has purchased on of these recently and I am waiting a response.
Thanks for your comments, keep them coming!
