Hi Brian,
This may have been asked already - what is Tri-Star's reputation? Is
there anything like the rating on eBay where vendors are rated? I know BBB
will record problems - but my experience is their info is not helpful unless
the vendor has screwed hundreds or thousands of customers.
About 6 months ago, someone posted info on a big plastic oil sucker,
similar to the top-sider, but all plastic. It was fairly expensive,
IIRC. I think someone had been involved in a group purchase.
I can't locate the posting. Can someone list the brand name, etc.?

As was said before YES you do need to check the compression BEFORE you

you just need to bolt the starter up. Shouldnt take more than 20 or 30
