I thought I bought a Lehner 1940 last week though Chris Fine. I did it on the internet. Saturday I got an email stating "they are out of stock." Nothing else to the email. This gave me all weekend to get irritated about all the horror stories I read about Chris Fine. I decided to call him up and see if he had any other motors in stock. Don’t not pass go. Don’t collect $200. He doesn’t have any 1900 serious in stock at all. I asked about the website stating they were all instock. He stated they are in the process of updating it. He was really nice to talk with and even gave me his personal cell phone number but some of the things he was talking about went against what I read in the forums. He tried to sell me on "HIS" XLT\7. Everything sounded good but he was making the sales pitch for “his” motor. He asked why I wanted such a high price motor that would not perform the way his does. He also said it was a mistake to lock the tranny into 2nd gear. I need to unlock it. I read some where about how some one else got told by him that he would put a couple extra parts in to help with gearing. I got the same talk. Then when the bill came it was higher than expected. I don't need that. I got nervous and backed out of the deal and said I would think about it. I have nothing to go on. He was nice but that worries me. Any opinions on what to do? I might call Mike and see about a NEU motor. HELP!!!
