After you got your replacement CC I also emailed Joe saying as I'd bought two JJ engines would he post out the replacement 12 stick CCs, guess what no response, so I'm one of about 350 JJ owners with crap CCs. Then of course the discovery of the lack of lube flow to rear bearings meant that those who successfully ran theirs might loose the rear bearings in operation. Now if there is a known problem its up to Joe to rectify it. Plenty of guys who posted here and PM'd over are simply left with so much metal scrap or as I did, retro fitted replacement parts to get theirs operational.
As of just a few months ago this summer Joe was emailing to guys in Europe OZ and Canada saying try these settings on the Fadec when he knew the CCs were disintegrating inside. Its when owners find this thread that it becomes clear how at first if they get theirs to run then performance falls off and running problems arise because the CCs are not inconel sticks. They then get back to Joe who has decided not help everyone which is a commercial decision.
If you buy from a local JJ dealer then it must be fit to operate and they must fix it or get a recharge but those who bought direct from China are left to swing with no redress.
