MJ, thats what a lot of people are telling me. that its junk. so, what? they wont take a rebuild well? the engine seemed to be in good shape before it ran out of oil that is. the foot seems to be good and tight. i just put on the extension kit. it has a new power pack, coils, starter, and fuel pump. all the new stuff i mention only has 15 hours or so on it. all i know is that this situation stinks. has anyone on here ever rebuilt one? if so, do they sell rebuild kits for them or do you have to buy all the parts individually? i value ALL advice so please, keep em coming fellas. i'll keep processing all options for a few days before i make a move.
