Finally got a response today!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I was told that what I bought was "used" (no kidding)and that I had no right to ask for a refund. I would understand if I took it to the track and exploded it, but it never made it off the jack stands. He said he took it in on trade, so there should be no expectation of warranty. The problem is he told me over the phone he saw it run and it was fresh. I thought after that statement he would stand behind it. Guess Not !!!!!!!!
