Settle settle, "I" didn't write this, this was a paste from a BRP
supporter!!!

I note you've stopped repeating your E-Tec claims of 31ftr cruising at
35 mph on 8-11 USgph?? Good lad, see even you can learn not to tell
childlike impossible porkies in the NG. OK OK you can still get away
with your endless OT ones but that's because I can't be bothered.

As for your hearsay testimonials (for the record, I say all yours are
hearsay) well gee that's not unusual. After all these chumps just paid
more than the price of a proper proven & tested 4 stroke OB for
essentially a still in test design?? So far the only independent tests
have shown unreliable (50% failed in the subject test!!), expensive
(B&WE by thousands!!), down on power (only independent B&WE test), Heavy
(read the specs!!), hugely fuel inefficient (Again B&WE)

E-Tec can't have it both ways it's either brand new never before tried &
therefore certainly unproven technology from a non engine building
family owned Co??? or it's just yet another Ficht upgrade?? Runaway
loves to pretend the bigger ones have a track record but then denies any
relationship to Ficht??

I feel for you if your recent claim that you've now actually bought one
is true, of course if it's just another Krause like lie then; I don't:-)

What it is is more hyperbole about nothing.

When the stator went south on my Ranger's FICHT, is it relevant that
they changed the EMM, wiring harness and two suspect injectors without
telling me?

No it wasn't. The fact that they did because they suspected that
there might be problems in the future said more about them doing the
job right - it certainly wasn't skullduggery. I didn't find out until
I received the paperwork in the mail two weeks after I picked it up (i
picked it up after hours).

The engine was under warranty and was fixed - what's the problem? If
they suspected some cylinder damage because of flawed fuel/oil mix,
more power to them as a responsible repair shop. How many times have
you taken that over engineered Volvo into the shop and had it returned
without really knowing what was done? I"d bet more than once.

It's just more of Dingo Grrrl's habit of throwing her spoor as far as
she can in the vain hope of eventually being right about something -
anything - at least once.

Just to stick some more pins in our Upside Down friend, my buddy who
swapped his Optimax's for E-TECs is raving about the change - he can't
believe the difference in acceleration and fuel economy. His son is
going to be purchasing his Dad's Grady and Ken wants a new one - with
E-TECs.

Heh, heh, heh...
