I already know about the engine and I have a plan for that lucky I have a friend that rebuilds engines so i' am not worry about that as much as the electronics but understand what you are saying, like I said before its just nice knowing the ifs ...

ok on the fan


what is average cost for a board for a 325 and a 305

[sjohn]

what if a board does pop what is the cost of a board?


also for the heat issue..hummm it can get hot where I live..so having a fan on the unit would work only if the fan is blowing on the engine and not the other parts that get hot.

also Cruizer you said :

"won't happen till the engine has a few hours on it and that is that the low idle moves to high. It must be set to approx 38 hz"

iam not sure I follow what you mean there? how can it be 38hz?? when it should be at at 62.5 hz warm?

[sjohn]

good to know! hum I wonder if miller got the bugs fixed in the new models?...

[sjohn]

also I see the Electronic Fuel Injection (EFI) & Excel™ Power ARE Options and that will cost more so with that being said in my case lets compare basic models of the 325 and 305

[sjohn]

could you please list the problems you know of with both models?...

[sjohn]

I am still checking and reading about them but sure seems that's the way to go...

[sjohn]
