As some of you might know, I have had a Brodak 40 from the very first bunch that came in. It had given me troubles from day one and NEVER ran a good 4-2-4 break, but would lose appx 2000 RPM when going into the 2 from the 4 and then would take three or four laps to go back to the 4. I posted on various forums the problem and symptoms and received a LOT of suggestions (some of which would seem to me to be painful if attempted) and tried most of the more sane ones. Nothing solved the problem.
After three years of disassembling and reassembling the engine to add gaskets and remove gaskets etc etc, I would not DREAM of trying to get some sort of warrantee from the mfr. Mr Brodak apparently heard of my problem, probably from Mr Bob Zambelli, and now the problem has been rectified. Mr Brodak is VERY concerned about the quality and servicability of his products.
I was very supprised. I have NEVER bad-mouthed nor complained about the engine other than trying to find and cure the problem. And I think that such actions never accomplish anything other than cause hard feelings.
Thank you Mr Brodak.
