I bought an engine from that guy a while back. Don't know how he got 100% feedback, I left one hell of a negative.... A guaranteed running engine for £87. Picked it up on a Saturday afternoon, bench tested it on the Sunday after replacing all fluids and setting up temperature and sonic monitoring. Ran for about 5 seconds before stopping dead. Upon strip down, one of the exhaust valves on #2 had embedded itself into the piston.

E-mailed the guy with photos that evening and the reply was basically "fuck off, tough shit, sold as seen".

Two months later after a Paypal claim that he kept stalling on, I got my money back (paid for the re-build parts lol). Anyhoo, he got really nasty when I left negative feedback and eBay ended up suspending him for a while.

apparently 0 negative feedback in the past 12 months :/ thats stupid. If i didnt already have a set of SP carbs i and not been warned I would a bought them.
i know you can right to ebay and get negatives taken off if they think its been done in the wrong but how he managed to get that taken off :s

must be paying someone on the inside or something :/

Ahhhh, now the picture is a little clearer. He always liked to act like he was working really hard to get my package sent out when everyone of us knows you get a box, put a label on it and pay the post office to ship it. He drug that process out for almost three months. So now with the other story I see this guy is the typical cheat on Ebay.
