Default Desperate Need Help: Broken K&B 3.5 Con Rod

Dear Fellow Boaters;

In a recent run, the Con-rod in my K&B 3.5 OB engine broke. My TS2 is now like a sitting duck. I need some kind souls help to guide me where I can get a replacement. I have tried www.mecoa.com they seem not to reply to my emails. I am not from the US, I am actually in Singapore and here the hobby market sucks you can't get spares.

Any kind souold who can help me or who can even sell me one, I'll be very happy to pay u for the item plus shipping

Thanks

Gary Pruesse is the man. He's not online so you have to call him. Use discretion as he does his business from his home. He lives in the Chicago area so consider the time zone if you need to. His phone number is 630-279-2451.

Sorry Ron, but found that and just copy/paste!!!!
