[NSRCA-discussion] 140, 160, 170DZ muffler question

[Lawrence Odom]

Mike,

     If this guy is new and he's unfamiliar with the YS he could be having a
little buyer remorse.   We all know when these engines are right they are
reliable and run great with ton of horse power for their size.  But we all
know one little air leak on a gasket or a weak front bearing this engine
will drive him crazy chaseing the mixture.  If you are really worried about
your online rating then exchange back, however he needs to pay the shipping.
He really sounds like he needs something simple like a Saito, a standard OS
or something.  I would hate to loose the sale, but it's not worth getting
beat up online about this deal.  Just my two cents.

Larry

  Robert, thanks for the offer.  I will let you know about it, but my
inclination is to have him return the engine.  My sixth sense went off when
my discussion with this guy started.  He was new to YS and seemed to be
relatively new to the hobby in general.  I provided an extensive write up
about where to find info and help (Richard Verano, Central Hobbies), along
with a some tips and the physical prop the engine really liked to run on.
If he made a change with the prop, he would at least know where he started
from.  I do not think he is a bad guy, but just wants a bolt on and go
engine.  Transitioning to a YS, especially a DZ, is not a bolt and go
operation, and that was why I provided the starting guidance.  For those
hanging on the edge of their seat, I will provide a follow up.  Since
telling him it was OK to send it back for a full purchase price refund, but
at his shipping expense, I have not heard anything since....

  Hey Mike,



  I have the stock muffler from my 1.40 Sport.  If it will help, send me his
address and I’ll send it to him for you.  Let me know.  I certainly have no
use for it myself.

  I have a disaster in the making when trying to keep my 140DZ sold to a non
YS and non pattern user.  I guess I took for granted that we simply
discarded the "stock" prop nut set and used Tru-Turns system in its place.
My offer to make it right with the buyer is failing though because the
engine did not show up at his door step with a muffler.  Aside from the fact
that it was not pictured in my add anyway, did the DZ's even come with a
stock muffler from YS?  I know the 120FZ did, but not the DZs.
