Default RE: OS BGX-1 Glow to Gas Conversion (Yeah!) Thanks Max

Hello Max,

I have 2 recommendations for future business for you.

#1 Communicate with your customers. This is probably the most important.
I sent you many,many emails requesting a status on my order and you did not reply.

#2 I was expecting all new parts and was very dissapointed when that was not the case.
You may want to update your web site so as to set appropriate expectations.
There are literally hundreds of Walbro carb models available so using a carb that was scavenged from a
lawn mower seems pretty low tech to me.

From a technical stand point

The hub face is crushed...probably vise damage when the hole was drilled for the magnet.
The adapter plate groove for the re-used o-ring was far to deep and I wound up having
to make a paper gasket between the plate and manifold inlet.

I have set the timing at 28 degrees btds as a start point which was not documented in your instructions.
So far I have not been able to get a start but will continue fidling with the carb.

Regards
