    Just another day in paradise

    Hey Mike, Any chance they did some welding on the machine between the time when you turned the machine over to them and when it 'blew'?? A poorly placed ground will certainly do wonders to an engine......... Just thinking out loud. And sorry to hear about your troubles. You need to move to NH.
