Just a heads up guys. Brad Hulings (HRP Motorsports) is completely set up to build & sell rebuilt & essentially new 493 or 494 engines. He has access to every part needed & really does a great job for a reasonable price. Give him a call, I know he can supply really good Rotax engines for quite some time.
Brad's phone number is 616-874-6338 e-mail is [EMAIL PROTECTED] Thanks ...

Discontinuing the 493?! You've just described the F500 Nightmare scenario. Your idea will make it an engine of the month, engine builder of the month type of class. I don't believe that anyone wants that. We just want reliable lumps we can bolt in and go racing with. As for the reliability part you guys in the class need to do your part and occasionally blow up one of these Rotax motors. They are just lasting tooooooooooooo long for the class to support the engine maker. That's my view. ;-) [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: >Why do all of that? > >Just submit this to the CRB: > >Any 500cc water cooled 2 cycle sled engine, stock ECU/ignitions, any cvt >clutche/s. >Restrictions: 38 carbs, 2 into one manifold, SSx gas test...nothing else. >Weight 825#'s. > >No concerns over manufactuers decisions, larger engine supply, and a real easy >post race tech.
