captbone Posted March 2, 2010 Share Posted March 2, 2010 Hello I am thinking about buying a B42 with a gas EN401? Are parts available? Are they very pricy or rare? Any input would be great. Thanks! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rob Posted March 2, 2010 Share Posted March 2, 2010 Hello I am thinking about buying a B42 with a gas EN401? Are parts available? Are they very pricy or rare? Any input would be great. Thanks!Great engine that is hard on fuel, underpowered, and a bitch to get hard parts for, new. There are a few still out there but they are long obsolete. There have been recent posts on the board and a quick search will answer a lot of questions you present. I have one and like it a lot but I'm never far from the shop, (neither is a Pete, but that's a whole nother matter)............Rob Quote Plodding along with no job nor practical application for my existence, but still trying to fix what's broke.

DMorgan Posted March 3, 2010 Share Posted March 3, 2010 Hey, I have a B-421 with the same engine. I did find a place that suposedly has parts for them. Their website is jobbersinc.com. I have not talked to them about what they have or their prices. Rob did tell me before that I would be in for a surprise when working with them. That could be good or bad????? Good Luck, Daniel Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The above example is from my own experience, with a strong second by another party.Rob Quote Plodding along with no job nor practical application for my existence, but still trying to fix what's broke.
