Different strokes for different folks. The perkins is a far more expensive
unit then anything you could replace it with and it is more ruggedly built for severe service. I cant for the life of me understand why people think newer is better. Exactly what dont you like about the Perkins that you found in what ever you got that replaced it? Mine has 2400 hours on it and is just broken in. tom 1982 FC35 Vernon Center,NY dAt 07:15 PM 5/14/2005 -0700, you wrote: >Perkins are boat anchors.
