I have tried to be a preventative maintenance freak with mine and just recently had all the fluids changed out..... ALL!! So, was a bit surprised to have this happen rather suddenly.
Thanks for the support Mark and hope to run into you again someday.
Thanks for the sentiments Darrin. Been in search of a rebuilt engine so Vicki will be back on the road and in better shape than ever very soon.
I've been a preventative maintenance freak too, and always babied the engine (rarely going over 3500 rpm's). I guess some of these engines are just destined to let go no matter how well they are taken care of.
Good luck with your issues and let us know what you end up doing. Don't be a stranger.
I'm sure we'll cross paths again in the future. I'm still out here in Colorado and you're always welcome to come on out for a little skiing and/or boarding.
