Mine blew up at around 1200 miles. I suspect it was under oiling. I think that if you crank up the oiler just a bit or maybe add a little oil to your tank each fill you would be way better off.
I also think that the engine itself is not any less reliable then the other manufacturers.
Just in case anyone cares... I just checked out the the situation in the garage, in the light, with the hood off, and found that the toggle switch had come undone. They seem to fit in pretty snug so not too sure how it came out.
Was hoping someone could give me a hand. Im up in blue rive rfor the weekend and my headlights aren't working. I cant seem to find the fuse for them. If someone knows where it is i would appreciate the help.
