Is it possible to get an Argus .23 from anywhere other than New Zealand?

Plenty of Alpha A352's floating around on fleabay, pretty much exactly the same engine.

If anyone is looking for a backup engine I have a a52 listed in the for sale thread
It has 2 gallons on it, runs great an has great compression.

Set the idle gap at .7 mm and retune the lsn to get the right idle speed. Also flameouts can happen from a clutch shoe hanging from a broken spring, bad clutch bearing. Also what plug are you using?

Anyone know where I can get a high speed needle valve holder. I snapped mine on my A52 tightening it.

What's this red-headed Argus R8 all about? See it on ebay.co.uk - pricey for an Argus.. What is it exactly? I've really liked my A52, so I still have a bit of sentimental loyalty to the brand...

It looks like it has the filled crank, new backplate similar to the Lutz/ Dragon engines.
