Chief Obfuscation Officer
While I am not ready for a motor yet, it is probably the next major decision I will need to make. Therefore, I have decided to make the most of my time at AirVenture and hit all the major engine builders. Having never purchase a stand-alone engine, I am starting to compile a list of questions to ask them and things to look for. Below is the *very* short list I have put together so far, but I would like to learn from your experiences. What do think I should add to the list?
- How long have you been in business?
- What are the warranty terms and/or options?
- Does the warranty start from date or purchase/delivery or first start?
- What ignition options are available?
- What fuel delivery options are available?
- What general options are available?
- What is the lead-time?
- How much of a deposit is required?
- What kind of support do you offer?
- How are your engines tested prior to delivery?
- How familiar are you with the Van's line of A/C?
- What do you suggest for an engine and why?
- What are the fuel requirements for engine X?
