New engine & for sale
Good news.
Staton sent me a whole new engine, for no cost, and it runs great (so far).
I've run it 3 times so far, for about 10-25 minutes a time, and it hasn't skipped a beat yet.
However, I'm finding that I like riding my bike better without the engine!
It's a great setup, fast, and seems bulletproof. But my buddy is selling his very nice road bike for a deal, and I just like to pedal I guess.
So I'm probably going to list it in the for sale section. It hasn't even had 1 tank-full run through it yet.
1.25 roller on the TLE43 motor.
I'm asking $425 shipped.
So if you know of anyone looking for a near-new friction setup, send them my way.
Thank you all for your help.
Randy
