Don't under any circumstances buy one!! They're experimental at
best & just another EX OMC consumer ripoff at worst.

They are a "modified" ficht, they have in no manner dealt with the
root cause of the ficht failures (lean mixtures on poorly atomised low
pressure injection) & there are good reasons to think they too will fail
at a way too high rate. You could be one of the lucky ones but ...


Don't ever expect those that sell them to tell you anything but
rosy stories about them, gee Bill a Florida dealer was telling this NG
he'd never even seen a failed Ficht at the height of the Ficht debacle!!!

As for the claimed warranties there's the proof positive that
they're suspect.

just another view:-)


Please provide any data that backs up any of your wild allegations. If
they are "experimental at best", how are the public getting their
hands on them? Do you have any substantial evidence that they are,
indeed, "modified ficht"? What IS the failure rate you speak of,
exactly?
Because they give a decent warranty for once, they must immediately be
"suspect"?
