better be going on soon. I need some freakin RB engine parts now.
So someone had better get their shat together. Seems like the
Italian engine manufacturers are starting conducting their business
here in the U.S. the same way the Taiwanese engine manufacturers
have for years. Hell, who knows, maybe the ball is being fumbled by
the U.S. Importer. I think that I read somewhere awile back that there
is a new importer.

So is Fusion is no longer the importer? They have been importing engines a long time. RB has been like this for years. They have had there good times for them in availability. They have a great engine and I don't understand why they are so hard to get and get parts for.

I looked at the fusion x website, it seems to to very much like the a-main website. Somehow I have a feeling they are going to start selling direct, wich will be a good thing because it should lower the price to the consumer.

Sorry to say it but i have been forced to go with novarossi. As much as i liked my prized rb's it was a decision that had to be made. Jim at fusion is supposed to be getting in the stock for the states but only when the send it to him. That sucks!

Years back, all the Italian engine manufacturers would close down completely in April, not quite sure why, vacation, maybe re-tooling, and engines were hard to come by, till the companies were able to get back into production again, and get enough stock to start shipping.

Novarossi makes the engines for RB....please don't turn this into a bashing thread. Jim is a excelent person and helps at every chance. If you don't have anything constructive to say then don't.

Oh no, please do not take that the wrong way. I purchased an x7 from jim as a replacement for my ws9. I have just found nova parts are more interchangable than what rb has produced in the past few years. I love rb motors and that is why i went to nova.

Hopefully once Jim gets everything up and running and stocked we will be able to get the stuff much quicker and easier. Last I talked to him he was working to get a big order in so it shouldn't be too much longer.

Well, let's see, Say I have my own line of engines. But then, I agree
to take on another line of engines for distribution in my country.
Now which line of engines am I going to be more conerned about ?
Which engines am I going to try my damnedest to make sure my customers
can get the parts for ? After all, If you can't get the parts to keep
what you have running, you could always replace it with an engine
that has my logo on it. There should be some kind of a law concerning that, Huh ?
