I don't believe you guys! I thought Americans had distrust and contempt for their governments. You are rolling over and saying you are lost and hopeless.
For as long as history has been recorded, we have been cursed with this type of people. They have been called priests and prime ministers and leaders and they are a byproduct of our civilization. Maybe it has something to do with the fact that shit floats to the top. In Canada, these people spent 2 billion dollars trying unsuccessfully to register our guns. I own more guns today then I ever did. They skimmed about 1.5 billion into their pockets. Fair trade.
Whatever laws are made by politicians, enterprising people will find a way to circumvent them and prosper. Ask the neighbourhood drug dealer how to get things done.
No problem to get these into Canada. Shipped as kits or parts they can go anywhere. Until they get a big fence built on the border, they can get to the US easily.

The reality of this engine to me isn't as a plaything to monk with in the shop. I need reliable energy production with little attention and fuel consumtion. It needs to run unattended for extended periods of time . I am far from "lost and Hopeless". I just don't feel like fighting the gov't when I want engines or parts. I can always get an Arrow in my neck of the woods. The Lister, as far as price, seemed/seems like a good idea. It appears after a complete clean and run in it would be what I expect. I understand what your saying, thats commendable. I don't dig the gov't. But I am taking a sensable buisness approach to this thing.
