What I was talking about was the way the glass was laid along the top

problem, but it did exist.
Thanks - I hope to look at it tomorrow (if not raining too bad) and
I'll watch closely for that.
That's exactly it - you never know. I'm not an expert by any means,
but I hang around a sales/service shop when nothing else is going on
(I know the owner and the service manager) and I see "things" that you
might not realize can happen when lower units hit stuff. Just be
careful - doesn't mean the engine is junk.
I agree, an hour at a good mechanic would be a good idea.
Low speed isn't a critical issue - not at less than 40 hours a year.
No concern about carbon build up?
Carbon is carbon. Use a good anti-carbon additive. I use the
Bombardier stuff, but I have three FICHTS. There are other products
out there.
I live in CT and are certainly welcome to try it - you might have to
wait for a while.
Thanks but I'll stick around where it's warm for awhile. :-)

With respect to NADA, I've found them to be fairly accurate, but there
are regional differences. BUC often seems way higher, but allows for
condition adjustments that NADA doesn't.
I signed up for BUC (but not the pro) and didn't get much out of it -
pretty limited without the upgrade.
True.
Later,
Tom
