John, Sorry to hear about the problems you are having....I talked to one shop who cant get me in until summer. I talked to another that is waiting to hear from his 70 year old part timer who loves 2 strokes to see if he will do the work. That is one of the reasons i am thinking about a repower...these 2 strokes are hard to get serviced knowledgeably . The shops are all about 90 miles away as I live in a resort area and our local diesel shop closed because the owner retired. I defiantly don't want to end up in a repower nightmare. Thought about buying a salvage rv or freightliner m2 and pulling the whole kit including ecu and dash etc but do need a shop to do the work. We will see how it shakes out....I could buy the used 6v92ta thats from a municipal bus I located for 2k with 25k miles since a rebuild and roll the dice...
I am going to try and get a wrench on the crank when it warms up and see if it will turn over....
