Default Help...parts needed

My trusty source, Airfield2000, no longer carries these parts: Cylinder head gasket, crankase gasket, nor venturi gasket. Does anyone know where I mgith be able to get these (preverabel individually withough buying the whole overhauls kit)?

Thanks,

Rob

I buy old engines off eBay and refurbish them to flying status. My spare parts supply is dwindling dangerously low.

Assuming you're talking about good ol' Cox engines, go back to Ebay for spare parts. Or just part out some Surestarts.[&:]

Lucky me...I happened to find a phone number for Cox and they had PLENTY of spare parts. 1-877-269-9235 if anyone needs anything; they were quite helpful. Unfortunatley the retailers are getting out of the parts business bacause of costs. Hoepfully Cox will have an adequate supply for the foreseeable future.

Rob, I guess I assumed you knew about www.coxmodels.com

There won't be any more Cox engines as they sold the tooling to CS. If you're fixing up reedies, you'll want some surestarts to use and part out. At 7.99, it's a pretty good deal.
