Finally got my Staton Subaru engine today. Took a week before it was shipped. Opened the box and saw why. It must have taken that long to crumple up all the newspaper! Not the best packing for something so delicate as an engine but all was ok.
20 min. to install? HA! More like about 4 hrs. of head scratching to fit my frame but got it done ok. Had to re-drill some holes and stuff and get creative. Kill switch was a FAIL. Pulled the cord about a dozen times with nothing. Remembered a thread on hear about another failed kill switch and unplugged it at the engine...one pull and BINGO!
10PM and down the street I go. Quiet motor. Flawless operation (minus the kill switch thing) IT'S ZIPPY! I was zipping along at about 25-30mph and was still taking it easy--throttle to spare! I ZIPPED!
So far impressed with the Subaru. Now, if I can only re-locate that kill switch link.
