I purchased a ram 1000 ( I was told ) awhile back. It had been sent to modelbau and gone threw, returned and sat on a shelf.. Anyway, went to start it with no luck. Gave to a friend who is used to rams and he couldn't get it to run. He sent it to Carlos and he got it to run but had a 'rumber' around 122,000 rpm and that it was only putting out 22 lbs. Carlos told him it would cost around $1700 to get it working right.. He said that someone had replaced the diffuser with a wren and not the ram, that the combustion chamber was bad and that it needed the new ecu... Too much to spend for a $1500 motor!!!
