Hi Mrfixit,

I have been exploring that possibility, and short of me being able to find a more common replacement engine that's probably what I'll have to do. The unfortunate thing is that it takes 6 weeks for parts to arrive here from the US by sea freight (air freight is hideously expensive) and I was trying to avoid having the machine immobilised for that long as I wouldn't be able to oder what I needed until after the engine was pulled out & dismantled.

Oh well. If everything was easy then anyone could do it :)

Regards,
Darren.
