There is pretty much no choice for stock replacement camshafts for 36hp. I wonder why Wolfsburg West does not grind and sell a new stock cam?

I purchased a camshaft for my 36hp from Air Cooled Research for $109US plus $30 shipping to Canada. Of course that was a while ago when the Canadian dollar was close to par with the US dollar. Not true nowadays. I was very pleased with the camshaft.

No, at the time that price was without a core. Not sure if that is still the case.
