many a manufacturer has heard those words out my mouf over the years here on the boards
Shawn Y blowme rk sent 3 guys (big wigs) from FMI to MF1 to spend two days fixing all that was wrong with my first off the (new)production line Vortex and now history has been repeated.
Les and some guy wearing a Greenie mask just spent another two days getting my Judson C4 running like it should.
My unit was the only one built with a 1/4 inch plate under the engine, lucky me got to deal with vibrating belts destroying themselves, exhaust pipes breaking off their welds, nuts and bolts mysteriously vanishing amongst other annoyances.
My heat was not what it should have been and the fit and finish of the whole install was less than whitey if you catch my drift..
a good two days of our 2 fat asses crawling under, over and inside the Lima Bean, Les has it running smooth as silk and hotter than hell and I learned some cool tricks
What a difference a 5/8ths plate of steel can make :shock: :shock: :shock:
oh and you NEW Little Giant owners, do yourselves a fave and run it for a week then use Les' video instruction to clean the jets out. There was a half cup of metal dust/crud in the burner ring clogging the those tiny wholes up like you would not believe. Dang thing fires up quicker (and more mysteriously) than one of the twin towers now :shock:
Way too f'n hot now, YOUCH!
Thanks Jud for sending Les out here, he'll have the expense receipts to you next week!
