Rcign. .Bme, DA, 3W and others have a REPUTATION. . usually good. . call it a 5 star rating .. .

I'm sure YOU do as well. . . Even given that high "rating" though, 3W still has problems with their motors (I'd give them 2.5 stars) BME has weedie conversions at this time and is upgrading to proprietary parts only (4 stars) DA is overrated for what you get but has great customer service (4 stars) ZDZ has ignition problems STILL (3.5 stars) and Zenoah is a dumb, simple, overpriced, but reliable powerplant (3-3.5 stars)

Where does the independent "conversion" supplier fit in? It depends on their reputation .. A&H is probably a NEGATIVE 5 stars ( I can't imagine a worse built motor with a poorer support).

You can sell conversions all day long. . . IF you can sell YOURSELF. [/QUOTE
And the others are intelligent, complicated, and cheap ??
What is a dumb engine ? show me the difference between the G45 and a BME 50 in terms of design. Is there something more complicated about ANY two stroke ? 2 bearings, a three piece crank, and a piston and cylinder....
