Support and what it means to some.

Post by mcbob » Sun Mar 08, 2009 5:08 pm

Dave i have written numerous time's to you and can only say i'm dissapointed in getting no returns to my emails and my phone calls.

I bought the Copperhead / Vintage engine off you in good faith thinking that i could count on you for future support if needed.

I know your busy but in the time i have had this engine and the times i have asked for support i find it's terriblely slow if none exsistant and now i need your help more than ever and have had others comunicate with you trying to help me out of the predicament i'm now in.

I purchased a few spares through Ebay but don't have a piston assy of the single ring type to suit the Copperhead.
Now i read that the wrist pin needle bearings and there fitting has been upgraded to increase the life of these components. Something in didn't know of via you.

At this moment in time i have one useless Copperhead / Vintage engine that i'd like to get going again ............... can you help me ??

McBob
I know it would be expensive but that seems to be the best way to get in touch with Dave.
He has spent a lot of extra time on the phone with me in the past. I find thats the best way
to get in touch with him. He has really helped me with setup my 820s.

Bob, I will get after him again, this does not sound like Dave, he has always come to the aid of anyone who needed it.

Bob, I agree with Louie; Dave is a great friend and a big help to all those who need it. He's gone out of his way for me more than once. That said, he's a beast to get hold of! I will hassle him also. Ted
