well i emailed them today asking for a number to reach them.
I asked for the serial # but they haven't gotten back to me. They asked what I needed that for. told to check actual yr. and to determine ignition in it.
I wanted to go look at it... thinking maybe it has other issues or quick sale to get rid of it??....or its hot!

I have found a TT set up 2hrs south of me and a boat 1.5 hours to the sthwest and now this motor 40 minutes east ...urg not enough time and days in my week !.... thank god fuel prices have dropped a bit.
