From: "Thom Riddle" When I was in the market for a new voltage regulator for my 2200A I called Jabiru USA and was quoted a very high price for it from them. BUT the gal I spoke to there (can't remember the name) acknowledged their price was rather high and then suggested I call someone else (can't remember the name there either) and she gave me the Kubota part number. Bottom line is that, as an importer, they have very little control of the pricing of their parts. But their willingness to recommend other sources and provide the actual manufacturer's part number is good customer service. I can tell you from personal experience, none of the Rotax distributors will do that. In fact they do a fear and smear campaign to keep you from buying standard parts like oil filters from sources other than Rotax. Rotax oil filter is about $22 now and yet there are a plethora of auto filters that do a great job at $5-$8. -------- Thom Riddle Buffalo, NY Kolb Slingshot SS-021 Jabiru 2200A #1574 Tennessee Prop 64x31 How hard it is, sometimes, to trust the evidence of one's senses!

Maybe you should have asked for a price before shipping. Or ordered the 50$ min from the other company. Some one has to buy them in bulk ,and if you a re not willing to than you must pay for the conveniance of it. - I have never found working with JABUSA to be a problem and prices fair cons idereing most the stuff is specialty items you would have paid double for s ome where else anyways. - nick --- On Sat, 11/28/09, AZFlyer wrote: From: AZFlyer Subject: JabiruEngine-List: Warning...Watch Out for Jabiru USA Rip-Offs!!!! !! I recently needed more of the tiny 3/32 csnk pop rivets supplied by Jab USA in the 601 FWF kit.- The only place I could locate these on the internet was an outfit that had a $50.00 min. order.- Not needing more than a few more rivets I called- Shelbyville and asked if they send about 50.- Th e girl said "no problem"...- I asked if I could give her a credit card. "No, she said"- - I'm thinking, as I hung up, "boy, that was nice of th em" Bullshit!- they still had my credit card from 2 years ago, and sent me a receipt yesterday for $43 for those 50 pop rivets and shipping. So be careful, $ 4.00 worth of rivets cost me $43 through Jabiru USA. Hard lesson...!!!!!!
