I think this is a very good topic. I'm one of those who hate spending alot of money on things that fail. I can understand your frustration and throwing out the darn engine because I've done thing similar in the past. Knowing what I know now I think you should pull the engine out of the trash, send it back and call them up and explain what keeps happening. I'd be nice but persistent about it and demand that they fix the problem or get your money back and buy a engine that is a little more reliable. JMHO


I got a question for you guys. Is it possible to cause that kind of damage, if I were to swing a prop out side of the engine manufacture recommendations, as I was braking the motor in?
