Ralph Cunningham is at the top of my list....I am sure there are others, but Ralph's reputation is unbeatable.

Second that answer. Ralph has forgotten more than I will ever learn about these engines and their quirks.
My limited experience with him was very good.

I’ve only had one dealing with the gentleman out of Willams.AZ. so far.
He had a care package of used parts shipped out to me before he was even
paid for them. He even added a few extra tid-bits to the parcel at no
charge. How could anybody ask for more than that…?

Mike,

Tom goes by the user name Tom Perry here on RCU. He used to build large gassers from Husky chainsaws. He sold a few on Ebay as well. He's sometimes know as "The Engine Doctor". I've purchased several engines from him and gained a lot of good advice.
