Unfortunately, I have been told that Unison (now owned by Champion -
well the mags/harness lines anyway) will not honor a warranty/return on
new mags unless the cam/brushes are found to have wear at the inspection
intervals outlined in the SB. I also don't believe they will cover any
labor. If it were me I wouldn't wait, especially with Champion picking
up the product lines. I think the delay on the repair kit may end up
being significant.

Purchased brand new Slicks about three months ago from Spruce.
Installed
them on the engine but not run yet. What would you do, send them back
for
refund then repurchase? What?
