Freestyle ((lenzi1one pro kit build)) hbc/dasa

[Aircraftsalz]

I bought this MSD from Skinnyman, never used it nor did I install, test, etc. I know Larry so have no reason to think theres a problem with unit. Only way to test it would be installing it, which I didn't!

Next I post it FS for the same price I paid... It sells, who knows how it was installed or if UPS dropped it, what ever...

I'm going to refund $200

I hope all parties are happy!

 

[HBCwatercraft]

Thank you. That will help

Me to, trying to find change now to put gas in my car...no joke, drained my account to get this new brain to get ride time in for this weeken.

ok, if you can't afford gas in your car how can you afford race gas in your ski this weekend? (just a thought! )

nice build now let see your new hull

 

[HBCwatercraft]

LOL, that is just right now Steve..you know how ups and downs go. I have alot of snowmobile,street,dirt customers once i push those out
back on top again. P.S, I bought the 50gal drum of race fuel 2 weeks ago...need some time to recharge the cash flow.
New hull will be coming Bro, just you wait

[HBCwatercraft]

Almost had to, haha.

MSD has always been good to me regarding repairing their car products. Never paid a dime for the three I had repaired. (I own too many cars) haha.

Two were my fault, one didn't work after sitting for two years.

I will never use anything else.

Word to the wise....never, ever, touch the spark plug wires when the engine is running.

I couldn't move any of my fingers after instantly clenching my hand for a few minutes after pulling out the trans dipstick and a bad wire grounded out on my hand. I was a believer from then on.

 

[HBCwatercraft]

Lol, Ya I know that feeling! Talked to Brent about checking the unit out for me, said there was nothing they could do as far as fixing it.

Round 2 with a MSD that works!

So you are saying MSD won't fix it?

 

[McDog]

MSD never repairs watercraft brains.

 

[HBCwatercraft]

Yup, no fixy. Hope on starting this badboy today! Working on it now

MSD never repairs watercraft brains.

They would lose too much money if people just repaired instead of purchasing new!

Potted electronics are kinda hard to fix.

 

[wsuwrhr]

I stand corrected then. I guess I will stick to cars. haha

Potted electronics are kinda hard to fix.

Can't they apply heat to melt the epoxy, then complete a repair?

Doug

 

[Matt_E]

Ok, so you melt the epoxy.
Now you've got a mess to clean up.
You best check out any heat sensitive components that may have gotten damaged.
What about any soldered connections? The heat may not have completely reflowed them, but they could have gotten brittle.
Now spend time to troubleshoot the original problem.
Fix it, test the unit.
Repot everything.

Instead of wasting all that time, you could have just grabbed a brand-new unit from the shelf.

Like I said, potted stuff is hard to repair and is generally not done because it would be much cheaper to just crank out another unit. (They cost peanuts in materials).

Qualifier: I've worked in electronics manufacturing & testing.

I'm not discounting your answer or expertise at all. I was just asking the question. You bring up valid points for sure.

Also (and after this I swear the thread derail is over :biggrin, it's not unusual for companies to not fix electronics like this at all. Something else may have weakened or gotten damaged. Or they want the damaged unit for failure analysis.

 

[douglee25]

Also true!
