Evinrude E-TEC wins 24 hr. race in Rouen France
E-TEC powered boats finished first and third in their first time ever in a
major race. The 3rd place E-TEC had a lengthy pit stop due to fuel tank problems. This was not a factory effort but the work of a European racing team. http://www.24heuresrouen.com/ |

Evinrude E-TEC wins 24 hr. race in Rouen France more E-Tec problems
They even need to enter factory teams in local French races & then they
only get 2 places!!!!!! The rest of the finishers were in Mercs or Yamaha & as for runaway william claiming they weren't "factory" I suggest it's more French BS like the rest of there false claims. The BRP name of the team says it all. Here they "sponsor" anyone with these crappy experimental engines hoping to get the likes of dealer runaway to do another Ficht trick on the gullible or stupid, in some cases as we've seen in this NG; their buyers are both. I wonder how many E-Tecs actually started???? because if you look at the results only 2 of 27 finished:-) Anyway proof positive they're done for.

The closest Yamaha was 12th. For years the 24hr. or Rouen was dominated by Merc racing outboards. |

K,
If you wouldn't tell such obvious and easily disproven lies your credibility might increase to merely "incredible". But when all you are capable of is obvious misinformation and mud slinging we get the idea you may just be trying to spruik us, eh? Butch "K. Smith" wrote in message ...

I thought 'Sanford & Son' went out of business. |

I thought 'Sanford & Son' went out of business. You know, that motor she allegedly built did look as if come from Sanford and Sons. But, then, so does her boat. Here's a current photo of it: http://tinyurl.com/f3a2c No wonder she stays hidden way down in Oz. Up here, her boat would be scrapped and she'd be charged the disposal costs. |

Rob I don't "work" for anyone but myself & if I did it certainly wouldn't be any of the DFI spruikers including Orbital. Because Orbital were flogging this crap here long before your EPA even mentioned OB engines, I do have some long term knowledge of that particular technology & even how it compared to Ficht when Ficht was still trying to flog it, again long before any of the sad dumb OB manufacturers fell for it. But Rob don't you think it's time you admitted just exactly how big the extra kickbacks are to you blokes to keep pushing a known defective design??? At best it's Ficht MK3 or as runaway says it's nothing like Ficht, then it's another experimental, no consumer track record attempt to run IC engines lean at power? So come on Rob is it still 30% agg. kickbacks to the dealers??? that would explain the super high prices for a cheap to make over grown whipper snipper 2 stroke motor. I'll give you a series of E-Tec problems posts over the next little while (once your season is in full swing) so have your say & try to deal with the issues. Also try to hush up as many of the failures as you can like you did with Ficht because there will be a torrent, now they've gone past the magic 500CC/cyl when using a short stroke, poor atomisation from low injection pressure, iffy timing from multi firing of the plug,super hot chambers from the slow flamefront lean mixtures & totally dangerous sometimes oiling. K Your Krause lie for the day is the one where he pretends Ullico the union thug pension fund is actually "his" business, when in reality it's where he works:-) But the interesting thing here is get a go of how they spend hard working unionists' money on themselves!!! I'm not wondering if the liar Krause won't come back & tell us this is a lie just so unionists' don't twig to what a rip off he & his mates a-) Where is Jimmy??? Even Mythbusters couldn't find him:-) We have first-class benefits, including a top-of-the-line health insurance plan, a non-contributory defined-benefit pension plan, a 401k, and a life insurance policy equal to annual salary. We contribute a share of profits to the 401k on behalf of the employee. Our employees pay $4.50 for generic prescriptions and $8.00 for non-generics, but that's going up next year to $10 and $15. New employees get two weeks vacation the first year, and that goes to three weeks the third year. In addition, we have 12 paid holidays and we shut down from noon on Christmas eve to the day after New Year's Day. We also provide 20 days of paid sick leave a year. And we have an outside company administering pre-tax flexible bennies for our employees. Our fringe benefit package follows the trade union model, except, of course, for the profit contributions to 401k's. Trade unions are not-for-profit enterprises. How do these compare to the bennies at your shop? Paid? Every year? I call "bull****". With 3 weeks vacation, 12 paid holidays, and 20 paid sick days that's 47 *paid* days off every year. Are they hourly employees? For a "small business", that's the road to bankruptcy. Boy...and you had me going there for a minute. Not quite so simple, though you are trying hard to make it so. Our business is up because we're on the cusp of an election year. Our business always goes up in a major election year. You could say we're going to be doing very well in 2004 because Bush is such a total failure. The 20 paid sick days aren't part of the "paid" days off unless those days are used. None of our people abuses sick leave. In fact, no one as yet has even come close to using 20 sick days in one year. They're there in case they're needed. Oh, I forgot. We also provide everyone with LTD. The company provides an insurance plan that pays 50% of an employe's salary for Long Term Disability. Employes have the option of purchasing an additional 16.66%, bringing their total to 66.66%. The basic benefit maximum is $4,000 per month. With the buy up, the limit is increased to $10,000 per month. |
