Keep an eye on the hauling boards ...you never know. I can sympathize with your dilemma. Needing a replacement I found my #1 motor on the coast about 350 miles away. Brought it home could`nt get it running (my fault) that took about 8 months. Next drove a solid 2 days to Denver, rebuilt motor ended up with one bad cylinder, that took 4 months. Decided to build a good run stand to avoid pulling motors back and forth....Got #1 running after a ton of help here on the forums. Just got it back in and running fine now!! Meantime I have passed on at least two running rebuilts within 150 miles . SO they do eventually show up .So far I`ve invested about $1450 in the motors and have a good runner and two spares to work on for fun. Patience sometimes pays off sometimes not.
