Well, it took 10 days but finally got it. Bought it from revolutioncycles.us. When I opened the box, I knew I was in for some problems. The bolts, nuts and washers had bounced loose in the box for 1000 miles. They weren't even in a plastic bag. First thing I noticed was the motor mount was not adjustable as advertised. It's 2 inches too short for my new Schwinn cruiser. Can't go any further without this. Next, I find the sprocket kit only has 2 half moon clips when there should be 3. And one of the round rubber spacers had 2 big chunks gone out of it. Also, 2 of the bolts to mount the engine to the mount were missing. The petcock is an extremely tight fit into the gas tank. So tight I thought the threads didn't match. Well, I spent $285 on this kit and it's totally unusable. I contacted the dealer and told him about the missing parts. He gave me a rambling one liner reply about the Chinese and that was it. Also, there was no assembly or parts manual of any kind, and I wasn't sure what all of the parts were for. There's a fiber washer I don't know what's for. Asked the dealer, no answer. There's a small thin flimsy metal piece with 2 holes. Asked the dealer, no answer. Asked if he would send the right motor mount, no answer. Asked if he would send the rest of the spoke mounting kit. no answer. Since Don Grube's name is all over this stuff, I checked his site and see all the parts he wholesales. He's obviously the grandaddy of the Chinese bike engine thing in the U.S. Sent him an email and asked if he could give me the name of a dealer where I could get the adjustable motor mount. He won't help. He rambled a bit about how the dealer I bought from is illegally importing 2 cycles into the U.S. and told me to report him to EPA. Yep, I'm sure I'd get my missing parts if I did that, yeah right. Bottom line, my dealer isn't going to make anything right and stopped answer my mails. Don Grube refused to offer any free assistance. I have a box of parts here that cost me $285 and I can't use it. Won't even tell me where to buy a mount. I get the impression that the bike engine "industry" is pretty much an overall shady operation, run by a bunch of thugs. I spent every last dollar I could muster up in the hopes of finally having some transportation. And now I'm also stuck with a new Schwinn that cost me $150 and will have to return it for a refund if possible. An entirely new problem. Gotta love it!
