Marty please send one or both of the engines back to us so we can examine/determine the problem(s).
We hate to see folks suffer when then don't have to, and you have suffered with this problem long enough. Mike Dooley tells me that you have been working with him on the phone, but it is time now to return the engine(s). We will either fix it or replace it. In either case we will test first, prior to shipping, to see that it meets our expectations, so that will get an engine that meets yours!
