Been a while since I got the story from Gary. I was not positive about the chronology. Glad someone remembers how it all came about.
I do know, I have had several of the A&M engines with the Sachs crank, and they have served me well. Only had the one with the A&M crank. Seems niether will handle a good hard crash into asphalt.
If nothing else, at least everyone knows what to look for when purchasing a used A&M. Alsways ask about the crank.[sm=thumbup.gif]
