  • Backlog Growing - New Orders on Hold

    Hi Folks,   We've put our orders on hold for the time being.  Just a bit swamped with production.  We're over our 90 delivery window and prefer not to rush it.  We are moving to an inventory based order system which will reduce production time, but it still a ways off.  Shouldn't last too long - appreciate your patience.  Contact us if you have questions.    We'll update the system as soon as we get a few of these engines shipped.  12-5-23
