Default RE: Evolution 26GT...... HELP!

Okay, it looks like it's time to step in and say a few things regarding the MVVS 26GT engine with the early generation ignition system. I really hate having to do this too!!!

1. The point that there were problems with this ignition system has been made, made again, and again, and again. Enough already. This has been beaten to death in 3 or 4 threads in Gas Engines. I will strongly consider deleting any more messages that are posted with the intent of just complaining about it. This is too close to manufacturer bashing and it will stop one way or another.

2. Plenty of advice has been given about contacting Horizon for warranty service.

3. Members are openly becoming tired of hearing the complaining. So, if anyone has information or solutions about fixes or workarounds, please post freely.

4. Lastly, the first generation ignition worked but had problems. I've seen the engines run myself. Most importers/distributors will not start a recall on an engine if a better subcomponent version is implemented. They may offer a replacement either for free, or some amount of reimbursement on the part of the owner. How you approach them, and how you present yourself with dealing with the support crew will probably play a large part in motivating them to help you with your problem. Angry comments may just motivate these people to not help you. If you call the support staff and start yelling, threatening, cussing, or vent any other similar feelings you are on your own and the problem is all yours. I can't count the times that a company has helped me freely when they weren't supposed to. I was always courteous and I listened to what they had to say even if it wasn't what I wanted to hear. This really works!

It seems that it is high time to move on.......please........
