Hi all, well as everyone now should know I am a MUTT to Hoser. But before I stop posting here... 3WW, and a couple other places as I leave for my new job back in ozzy land I must say something.
First off, thanks! I want to thank people like NukeEm, SpeedChaser, Sunblock, TurboTexas, DunePilot, Hoser, and Mudbogger. Without you guys, I would have probably of ripped my hair out and gone insane with issues. Thanks to all members here that show kindness and cooperation with even some of the stupidest questions, lol. I have been a member here for a while, back when I had a FL250 and knew jack ****, back when I had a FL350, and back when I had a Pilot, 250r, 350x, and other toys. I have had ups and downs but everyone here was nice enough to help and support me and man others along the way. So again a BIG thanks!
But now im going to defend why I didnt pay Hoser for my
Engine "rebuild", first and foremost Hoser, I asked you atleast 3 seperate times what YOU charge for an Engine rebuild and the only responses I ever received were; "Its something I do for the members of this site", now even with that I thought it would be okay to pay 100-200... but then AFTER you did the work, AFTER you sent it back, you say you wanted 300 for the rebuild, well maybe Hoser, just maybe you should of said that before I sent the Engine, maybe even when I asked how much it would be? Hell I thought you werte like me and just liked helping people with the knowledge that you have, apparently not. Now I would be inclined to pay what i said I would if the damn thing actually ran more than up and down the street twice then died on me and needed to be towed back. No Hoser, it wasn't the reeds, no it wasn't a loose spark plug. It was just like before when I was at the dunes, it was dead, and I towed it back. I followed (or tried to the best I could), to follow your break in instructions, and no its not the mixture that did my old pilot in, it was a seal, the left one, i looked over the Engine and that was the only thing that was dirty when I got back, a ugly ooze of bluish black came out of it and sure enough i could see an exploded piston in the exhaust port. I couldnt afford another 1000+ repair bill, so it sat until it sold with the rest of my toys.
Everyone here will probably ask why I didnt come here and say what happened... well what would be the point? I know how Hoser was on Andy's site... Hoser CAN DO NO WRONG, its always someone elses fault and never his own. Well Hoser, heres my info to you; My Pilot lasted a total of 2hrs running after install. It revved faster and faster as i rode around at 1/4 to 1/2 throttle so I hit the kill switch and that was the end, never to start in my possession again.
Hoser, if you can PROVE to me, that you told me BEFORE i sent the Engine that you were gonna charge me, then i'll send this check that has been sitting here since December. I figure im already 6k into the pilot, and it sold for a whopping 1800 on ebay, so im the hole no matter what, but after selling all my stuff and my NSR250R this week. I can pay you if you have proof that you told me the repair would cost money.
But understand this Hoser, you call other people a Mutt. HOW WOULD YOU FEEL if someone here had something you really wanted and said this:
"I'll send it your way", you ask them; "How much for it?", they say "Your the owner, ill send it your way"...then 3 months later you get emails and pm's demanding payment for it even though you asked what it costed and heard nothing in response .
Does that make sense to you? That even if you asked what it costed, and received no answer on price, that 3 months later after it was all said and done they ask you for money for it?
Oh wait, I know the answer:
"Wheres my 300 bux?"that's all you have used, that and calling me a liar and a cheat, which is fine. People can have their opinions, and can think what they want. I have paid upfront anyone here that has asked me to, and I have given stuff away to people here, and the 3WW site. Your the only one I have ever had a problem with, in all my years online. Which is sad.
Thanks for the info you all have given me and thanks for the years of support.
Sincerely; The "MUTT" Twilight
