Of course it won't go with its innards exposed like that!

Standard motor. Motor explodes. Supplier has some responsibility. Even if its just good faith like giving you the parts at a cheep price.

Wouldnt you be kinda make if you brought a new holden and after the warranty runs out the motor explodes? and instead of say $800 your looking at an excess of $8000? Same diffrence.

That's what warranty means Googie, once it expires, you're on your own. You might have a case if it happened maybe a week afterwards but several months, an aftermarket exhaust and a re-jet of the carb later?

Fairlie might get a bit of sympathy discount from Retroscooter, but LML coughing up? No chance.

I am well awear of what a warranty is and how it works. The motor fucking exploded.

Can you see the slight imperfection resulting in the failure...

However you will all be happy to know that I am back on the road with a nice Malossi 166 kit, Muzzuchelli full circle crank, T5 carb, and Euro bearings.

Runs like a French soldier under fire.
