thats great to know that he is still in business. When i take christmas break, my parents have a homelite 25cc trimmer that i can have, and a couple chainsaws. i will be needing parts pretty soon.

When the time comes and you still cannot get to Peter Faith, get back on here and ask - there are other sources also

pete is a good guy to deal with. he is always willing to help and isnt pushy or impolite like some of the guys at the bigger shops tend to be.
Im not saying theyre all like this, just ive had some bad experiences

Just an fyi on wacker engines: I spoke to Mr Faith a couple weeks ago and he was telling that due to flood damage this summer at his place, his production items are on a slowed down pace. He did tell me that he would get back up to speed after the first of the year though. Sounds like he lost some good machinery due to the high waters and just hasent recovered from it all yet.
He still had some parts for sell though Give him a shout on the landline- he is a pleasant guy to deal with and as W8ye stated, he's always ready to answer your questions

I bought some Walbros and parts from Peter a while back. Very nice guy to work with. I hope his insurance will cover him well and get his shop back up and running.
