AP in CapeTown/Brackenfell area?

Postby justin.schoeman » Thu May 14, 2009 8:12 pm

I found an engine for sale in CapeTown, and would like to try and hire a local AP to inspect it for me.

Any volunteers???

Thanks!

Thanks!

Before I go any further with this. Just got some more info. The owner claims it is a 912, but has pull start. I have never heard of that before... Is he perhaps confused, or was there really a 912 with pull start?

no a 912 does not have a pull start. He sounds confused. Ask him how many pistons there are, infact get him to send you a photo
