Form-E One/ Gearcase parts backordered 6 months??

Hello Form-E One;

You mentioned Gearcases (Gear Boxes), with parts undelivered for 6 months.
I have no backorders for parts for Yamato Gearcases, Konig Gearcases, Yomato Gearcases, Yomato Lite Gearcases, Komato Gearcases, and Konny Gearcases. To the best of my knowledge, I ship all parts within a week of receiving funds. I do have many, many "Checks in the Mail" from racers that never were received if that counts. If I owe you any parts, let me know. Thank you.

Nobody waiting on TOHATSU parts or anything else from me, that I know of.

Anyone need TOHATSU parts, or:
Boyesen T32 or T32R Reeds
Tiny Tach (commercial) with 12' leads or with quick-disconnect engine harness?
Wiseco pistons?
Tohatsu oversize pistons (usually weight matched)
Cowl Teez to secure your Tohatsu top cowl
Tohatsu reed block sets of 3 with new style reeds
M50D2 short blocks, empty blocks, crank assemblies (welded or unwelded)

I've got all this stuff in-stock at decent prices. I can have most things drop-shipped to your doorstep next day. Pay by Pay-Pal, or credit card (mc / visa / disc ). Checks and money orders are fine as well, and your parts will be on their way the moment everything clears.

No, nobody waiting for parts from me either, got all my orders sent out. I sell internal power head parts for the 44 and 25XS motors along with some accessories and good used items, etc. As a matter of fact I am working on a website to serve my racing and collector customers better. Look for www.outboardpardise.com in the coming months.

Hi Chenney;

I appreciate you saying lack of parts didn't apply to me.
In answer to the "big Gear" 2011 KOMATO, I expect them in time for JESUP.
We'll have ratio's of 11:15, 12:15, 12:14, 14:15, 14:14, and 15:14 O/D.

As a note, I have "Gear Sets", 14:15, for Yamato Hatchet, on the shelf.

really?

must be big money in the sales of one-of-kind racing parts....

chenny... i know a guy who runs a machine shop that won't bid real paying jobs for less than 60/hr. i know that racing parts such as gearcases, towers, pipe-rings and special stuff pays him less than 5 bucks/hr. he does it for the sport.

patience my man.... piss him off and there won't be anyone making cool stuff at all.

btw... he hasn't had the time to even test his own stuff yet this year cuz he's spending every spare moment building stuff for other guys.

No "street sweepers" please

ok ,,, i know 5 people already in the calif/wa area that cant get there parts they have orderd over 5 months ago ,,some have payed 1/2 the price already and still cant get parts,,

Cheny.. c'mon man... stop with the shotgun blasts. Be specific. "5 people"? who are they? WHAT is their need? WHO are they dealing with? EXACTLY what are all the factors involved.

Are 75 D-Mod racers enough to keep 15 people in business around the country year around making one of this and three of that? Aint no way.

You make a lot of good points, but lay off on with the street-sweeper okay/

Why would I pass up a dollar to make a nickel. Considering the dollars keep my doors open. Then occasionaly you have to chase down that nickel to get it. I have a wall of shame with names of deliquent accounts. Some are years old, even in my own region. So if you want it bad you get it bad. How bad do you want it?
