I have one and it is a great engine. The MDS 2.18 is a one flip starter and has never quit for any reason, the .68 quit once during break in because I had the low end too rich, now it's a one flip starter, after priming of course. I also have two .40s and they are OK too. The 2.18 might be a bit much for the Big Bingo, my next project is to build a Big Bingo for my Maloney 125. The 2.18 turns an 18x10 ProZinger at 9,200. Ya gotta love guys like Jerry, every club has at least one.
