On your statement of:

.............if they are in Dick's 2006 catalog........
and you said you knew about him......right?........
I bet he has them in stock.

You are correct that Dick Bennett is standup person...

His catalogs are made up in advance.. He was
going on the assumption that USEngines would supply him
with more motors.. But guess what.. They did not,,

and
B&B has zero sitting on the shelves... And,, this is verified
at 2:30 central time, today, when I spoke to him on phone..

I wish USEngine would start production again as they
were a good little motor and especially for the price..
I'm sure some people may have a couple on their shelves,,
but that danm ole fat lady is lookn' for her music sheets as
we speak..

Soooo,, seein' as I win this bet.. You haffa wash my car for a month..

And,, uhm,, don't forget to do a good job on the whitewalls..

I've owned several US Engines engines. I fully understand why they went out of business. I finally began refusing gifts of them. Yep, that bad.

As someone else pointed out, check the size of the engine. I haven't heard of very many 41cc powered skate-ma-jingies. Most are powered with engines in the 25-28cc class. A Zenoah G38 would make a superior replacement for a USE 41cc engine, however.

Engines have pistons or turbines. Motors are reaction devices, like rockets and electric motors. Trust me on this one....
