My apologies Scott... But to see grown men act like this is PATHETIC... So... I bow out!

It's been a pleasure for the most part... "Enjoy life while you can, nobody is guaranteed tomorrow..."

Doug.

I agree with you Dude.

This is becoming a whasps nest, and I don't like whasps.
U know: Zens, Sikks etc. - None of them will ever beat the Blata! (Some day that is)

Cheers to ya all. Keep cool, stay friends.
Woodie.

And Doug: Please stay with us.

Doug is fine ... Just a minor hick up and ALL our lives go on.
Nothing wrong with lively debate, that is until feelings get hurt or ones tolerance for others behavior wears thin.

On a side note, would be a safe statement to say RCMK has lost even more market share and customers than CY has due too shotty R&D practices having end users being there lab rats
RCMK's saving grace is there quality and metallurgy is fantastic ! but there blind sightedness on making stupid application choices in design has caused many fits among the early users.

So in reality Zenoah old school as they are and least willing it seems to come out with new product rest on there merits as having a solid design and great quality control .... Apple or Oranges anyone ?

precisely Bro, im running yout Warepath with the new stock CY27cc, clock 130Km/P

sorry for the late reply..
its a wood Warpath from Marc of MGB..

roger D Go HOLDEN as they say down under

" ALL FORD ARE SH@T " lol

sorry my bad

was ya talkn bout cars or boats

Oh no! You DID NOT say that! Sorry pal but I used to be a hard-core Stovebolt owner but have seen the light as to how bad the GM stuff is ans switched over to the Blue Oval.
The Superbowl ad with the Chebby trucks was stupid as Ford probably laughed more than being irate about it. They sold 70,000 more trucks last year then GM did. The 2.8, 3.1's and 4.3 engines are junk. My little 2.3 4-banger was still running strong with 180,000 miles on it when I sold it. the 3.0 in my Mariner is faster and gets better MPG than my 4.3 Liter Chevy ever though of.

2.8? 3.1? 4.whateva are they model car engines lol

sorry we only run 6litre plus engines Down ere....V8 or rust lol

i got my drivers licence in a 383 ( 6.3 ) stroker as my first car lol

even my Lada Niva is getting a heart transplant to a small block.. i,ll stick a towball on it and make a trailer for my Apache to take down the Marina ( its only 800 meters )

Interesting threads. And perhaps it is not a bad thing to see some heated opinions and discussions but we should never take things too personally in my opinion.

Here’s my contribution in respect of Zenoah (please bear in mind that I’ve had far less experience than many of you here): So a bit of a humble post <grin>.

My first gas engine was a Zen copy that came with a ready to run boat (sold as with a Zen). Proved very reliable and with a well made copy of the Walbro 644 carb, but the weakness being its pull start even though it has not yet failed.

My second engine was a genuine stock Zenoah 260PUM fitted to my Lynx (Delta Force) mono built from scratch. Two years after building and running the boat regularly, the Zen continues to impress me with its bullet proof reliability, easy starting etc. I’ve not had to replace a single component including the spark plug or pull start.

My third engine is the Zen7 from Prestwich Model Boats. I expect that once installed into my new build project it will deliver nearly twice as much power as my current stock Zenoah (with better quality pipe and non wrap to centre manifold).

My point here is that for me personally, having found an engine that has proved faultless I will stick with the devil I know. For me Zenoah has bettered my expectations and has given superb value for money.

As much as the very opening topic did appear to be a bit of an advert, for me it would not at all tempt me to move away from Zenoah as my key engine choice.

Cheers
Craig
