Bought a rebuilt stale air 40 hp through ebay.
Said it was rebuilt and he had a receipt for 2200 worth of work

Paid the asking price, got the engine but was missing the paperwork, clutch and tail pipes. Jeff refuses to answer my calls and does not respond to email.

Possibly scammed me and he may be from Shaw City Engines Fresno CA.

BEWARE.

Thx,

Al

Is it even possible to spend $2200 on a stale-air 40hp?

Maybe it was his first rebuild, and it took him 4 times, plus meals, or he could have bought all his parts from the Romano aka aircooled germany!

I paid 900 bucks for a nice looking and complete stale air engine - heater boxes, exhaust, german carb, generator, air cleaner, fuel pump and powder coated tin.

My problem was the lack of paperwork to confirm the extensive machining performed inside the engine such as decked. line bored, recon rods, crank grind, new bearings, new P&C's, new cam, regrind lifters, new pump, new valves, new guides all with 0 miles.

The ship from address was Shaw City Engines in Fresno.

Thx,

Al
