I hope there is more than one girl at Jab USA, if not, you just told everyone including her employer that she is recommending to buy elsewhere and that she is even giving out the name of the other supplier their part number.

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!

When are you guys going to get off this thread - Maligning Jabiru will not make you any friends. My experience with them has been nothing short of excellent. Also it does not take much sleuthing to find alternate sources for most of the ancillary parts hung on the engines.
