What is the deal with Enya?

[Bob Reeves]

Not to worry as we die off (which is happening all too often) eBay will have hordes of CL engines available. You just have to outlive the next guy.

I just received this reply in facebook:

Sorry your inconvenience. We will reproduce our products soon and we have to maintenance our websites. Please let me know your request to our email address sales@enya-engine.com I reply to you the condition of the stocks. Thank you !!

It appears to me that they may be basically operating in a cottage industry status. If someone wants a particular engine, to E-mail them their need. If they get enough requests will dictate priority and they build a batch. Also, they may just go ahead and 'special order' build you an engine.

It is good to know that they will respond. I think this may have caused the new .61 to be made. Also, and I only speculate, during their hay day, they may have been subcontracting out engine parts work, which would have allowed them to produce greater quantities. Back during WW2, Japan's manufacturing was basically operating overall as multiple family operated cottage industries, which made it difficult to bomb manufacturing without bombing population (or so I gathered).

That might explain why we only see 3 older gentlemen, which seems the extent of the factory. That may be true now, but just 3 men couldn't have turned out the quantities for world sales that occurred during the 1950's through 1980's.

They aren't and I am glad there is still support overall for Enya engines. I've grown to love these engines for their power and longevity, definitely premium engines.
