Default They're not scarce in the US but the shipping cost.

Hi Gary

They're not scarce in the US but I'm afraid the shipping cost and a seller who is willing to pack and deal with customs shipping is the problem. The other problem is that without a great deal of luck any 216 found in the states will be in need of a rebuild which is running around $3000 that's what it cost to overhaul the engine of my HUP. Another part of the problem is buying and engine from an unknown source overseas can end with a very expensive boat anchor.

I know this doesn't really help but wanted to see if anything can be done to help.

Cheers Phil
