Hello all
After the thought of my 36hp Okrasa having bad heads, a local Seattle machine shop fixed a mistake that a machine shop in Ca. that everyone talks about closing did. (who cares) I just want vent alittle. It really sucks to spend your hard earned money on things that have to be fixed twice!
I know thats the breaks buying used parts. but it just sucks. On a good note, it fired right up today and runs great. It has a semi-lumpy cam and lightened flywheel. It is VERY snappy and quick. You know, for a 36 hp. Gonna put a few miles on tomorrow and change the oil and filter.
See ya at the shows! (next year)
