Well this Canadian just had his delivered from Elim in buffalo. My cost was $380.00 US including shipping and the it arrived today with a COD of $79.00 Canadian for GST and Broker fees.
More interesting is when I opened the box;

Here is an exert of the email I just sent them:

The product arrived today and I really look forward to trying it. This package arrived very nicely protected for shipping and there appeared to be no damage in any way. When I opened the package however I was disappointed to notice the following:

1) The box was very oily from the inside and upon examination the oil plug/dipstick had been tighten with the rubber O ring squeezed over to one side to the point that there was a gap that would allow oil to drain if not sitting upright. I think this is caused by over tightening and I also think the O ring is one size to large.

2) The Manuel, spark plug tool, and all the male plug-in ends that are shown in the listing were not included.

3) It appeared that someone had grabbed the dashboard right where the 220/110 toggle switch is located and bent the metal dashboard outward. I doubt that this could have been done in shipping as then it would have been bent inward not outward.

4) Probably due to 3 above the toggle switch was broken and although still visible it was none functional and only being held from falling to the bottom of the box by the black plastic cover that covers the back of all the wires and switches and has a number 8 on it.

5) Due to the bend the breaker switches were also bent way to the side and looked as if they had been installed at an angle.

6) This black cover appears intact but all the little tabs are broken making it difficult or impossible to stay in place unless I use some duck tape or something like it.

This is what I have done:

1. Straightened the dashboard or metal that holds all the gauges
2. Bent the two breakers back so they look straight from both the back as well as the front.
3. Tried to repair the toggle switch and although I was able to reassemble it. I am not confident it will work because it appears very loose and the neck that comes out of the housing of the switch was popped out. I was able to put it back in but It doesn't feel right.
4. I have not started it.

I am waiting to see how we will resolve these issues.

Elim is shipping me the toggle switch and the black cover. So since I now think I will be using the unit I decide to put in some gas.
Well more Problems: The Gas line has a hole in it very close to the shut off. I will need to get a new rubber gas line as it is to short to use if I cut it where the hole is. I do that and believe it or not Another problem:

This is where I need the help. In 1. above I talked about oil. I cleaned up the whole unit including oil inside the air filter (yes more than an Air filter should have) and I wiped down the whole unit and it literally was covered in nice clean new oil. As if it had been on a spit and someone had basted it. Added the appropriate amount of new oil about .4 of a liter. This did not overfill it. Then when I started the engine (started easily) the warmer the engine got the more blue smoke I got. I let it run for a total of about 25 minutes and the smoke was so bad I decided I would have to take it out to the country to burn off the oil because I was concerned for my neighbors. The smoke was definitely coming from the exhaust. Do I have a dude here or will it burn clean after a few hours of running. Thanks for any advice I can get.
