mr. rc,

Is it possible that you got a 2.4 instead of a 3.2. You can look up the external specs on Brison's web site. If not, then they must have saved a few bucks on anodizing. I personally am interested in performance, not whether an engine is gold, blue, green, or purple. That's just eye wash. Did you get the one with Syncro Spark or the mechanical advance. I heard recently that they were going to Syncro Spark?
