Aww comeone Pat, tell us what you really think! You did state that FPE was a bit slow in the support area .... please back that statement up. If you have facts to share, I'm sure everybody would like to hear them.

FPE clearly isn't my favorite engine but I have to be truthful and say that overall, my experiences with these engines has been good. Now with that said, I have grown to prefer engines that don't have cantilever cranks so I might steer clear of the Brison, FOX, FPE type of design but they still have their place and serve many users very well.
