We are in the process of testing a new email notification system. Our forum email service has been down for some time. This system allows you to send messages to other forum members, sends an email when a post you're following changes, and other notices that are sent via email. Hopefully this new system will continue to work properly. So if you're interested in a particular post, you can now follow it and be notified when it changes or a new message is posted. That's rather nice, instead of having to check every few days to see if something new has been added. There is also another upgrade to the forum version. Only minor changes, but it's always best to get these changes made. We'll get to that as soon as possible. You can hide this announcement now that you've read it by clicking on the little "X" in the upper right corner of the announcement window. Thanks for being a member. We appreciate your participation.

This forum contains builder discussion topics. These are topics where members can post messages to the builders. These topics will stay at the top of the Badland Builds forum topics for easy access.

Members are encouraged to subscribe to builders they wish to follow. To subscribe, go into the Badlands Builds forum, scroll down to Topics. Select the topic of the builder you wish to follow. Click on the wrench at the top of the message (right next to the Post Reply). Click on the Subscribe Topic. From then on an email notice will be sent when a post is made in that builder's discussion log topic. Builders are encouraged to subscribe to their own discussion topic so they will be notified when someone leaves a post for them.

At the very top of the Badlands Builds forum are the builders sub-forums. Builders are the only ones allowed to post in their own sub-forum (remember this is a log for them and others to follow, not a discussion area) - that's what the builder discussion topics are for.

Builders - submit a request using the comment, private message, or email to request a builder sub-forum. If we become aware of a build, in most cases we'll automatically create a builders log for the builder.

That is what it cost Peer to ship all 3 boxes to him from WVa. I did ship it USPS insured so that added to the cost. I think shipping weight on the engine was 67 lbs by itself.

I got a rough price via the calculator on the UPS Freight site. However Chris just informed me that a 303 was shipped from MN to KY for $85. Naturally I'll do more research.

Looks like it will be closer to 75 pounds.

I know its very irritating to have issues that you can't seem to get worked out. Peer's 303 ran great when I had it but it was just too light. I just bought a rebuilt 503 to put in the Mountain Cat. It's a pretty simple engine that I am familiar with. The Polini is still a basic engine but it a tighter package due to the electronics involved, and that makes it complicated. And the less than stellar instructions don't help matters.

My engine was factory-new in the welded tubular steel shipping frame. However, it had the wrong size rubber shock mounts; several incorrect size hose clamps (and not enough of them); a miss-manufactured prop hub nut; a faulty CDI, and a wierd taped-up wiring harness (wrapped in several feet of black electrical tape covering the bayonet connectors).

I really believe my singke ignition 303 was cobbled together at the Polini factory. I hope London can get it running.
