Status: offline 		Second that answer. Ralph has forgotten more than I will ever learn about these engines and their quirks.
My limited experience with him was very good.

Status: offline 		I’ve only had one dealing with the gentleman out of Willams.AZ. so far.
He had a care package of used parts shipped out to me before he was even
paid for them. He even added a few extra tid-bits to the parcel at no
charge. How could anybody ask for more than that…?

Status: offline 		Mike,

Tom goes by the user name Tom Perry here on RCU. He used to build large gassers from Husky chainsaws. He sold a few on Ebay as well. He's sometimes know as "The Engine Doctor". I've purchased several engines from him and gained a lot of good advice.
