RE: ASP Engines
And I have three of the magnum 30 four cycles. I bought two of them when Sheldon went out of business. I ran one and it wouldn't idle at all. The valves leaked. Nothing I did solved the problem. Sent it back to Hobby People. They agreed it was not fixable and sent it and another one back at no charge. I didn't even bother to try and run the new one or the other unused one I had as the other had lousy compression too..
I didn't even try to sell the first one on ebay as I didn't want some other guy to get stuck with it. All three are in a box in the basement. I solved the problem by using an OSFS26.
I also hve a Saito 30 that is an excellent engine. I use OS, Saito and Enya four cycles. Seidel is not what I'd call a major engine manufacturing company.
