Time to start black market shipping these engines with drug shipments.
You betcha!From the dark shadows of an alley you will hear, "Hey buddy......I've got some smoke for you. Finest quality. 2 stroke smoke straight from China, dude!"
It's not necessary the EPA - It's US Customs that enforces the importation laws of the US. If it is not EPA approved to be imported, then you take a chance if customs inspects and the shipment isn't EPA certified, your shipment maybe seized.Just out of curiosity, what would happen if the epa caught you importing 2 stroker kits without EPA?
Members?Anybody know of any members that have imported two strokes?
Absolutely correct.It's not necessary the EPA - It's US Customs that enforces the importation laws of the US.
Again 100% correct other than Don's real last name is Grube, one e, he named the business Grubee because it sounds better to say Gur-Bee than Grub for an engine type I suspect hehehe ;-}As stated on the Grubee website, it costs $25k to $30k to have an engine certified for importation and the importer becomes liable if the manufacture produces a non-compliant engine.
I believe KCVale posted an Email from Don Grubee's wife on this forum within the last 6 months and mentioned others trying to import non-compliant engines and had their shipments confiscated.
That's a Hat Trick 3 dead on correct!Your best bet would be to find a manufacture willing to send boxed engine parts, rather than complete engines.
A little bit of AlumiWeld will fix that right up.They make holes in all your parts?
The only hole in the cylinder head looks like the intentional hole for the spark plugThey make holes in all your parts?
That's how gasbike is sending their 2-strokes kit now since the EPA still hasn't got it's %$$^ together.That's how I got a new Super Rat. Seeing as how I couldn't find a vendor stateside to get me a new Rat to replace my dead one, I got it in pieces, a bottom end ordered & shipped, with the top end a week later. Now I have a fresh rat & everyone asks me how.
