Finally starting repairs again
So, after being gone for some schooling for half the year, a career change, and a move, I'm finally ready to start tearing into it again.
Got a new job up in Pinedale, Wyoming and finally found a house. Hawk has been in storage for most of the year up until last week. Now I just have to unpack the garage enough for me to start working on my 2 broken motors.
Had to get out at least once already, so when the family was in town helping move last Saturday, we rented a few sleds and rode down at the sinks in Northern Utah. I would have given Steve a call, but it was last minute, and I'm sure he didn't want to ride with all the Newbies on sleds.
Still a great day and about 1.5 feet of fresh snow.
I'll let you know when I get something accomplished.

I hadn't heard of a problem with the 800 engines. Is there some inherent issue with them and if so, what can be done to keep them alive as long as possible?

Storage!
Jaime knows how.
Some stay afloat some give up, easy enough to keep up on.
Your fine for now TH.

I personally know of 3 new xps with under 500 miles with blown motors..
I think they changed something recently.. your hawk mill should be fine..
Welcome back!
Glad to hear you are finally getting back to the hawk repairs Berg. Sad that the nearest hawker to me is now in Pinedale but not a bad place. We go to Freemont every year so maybe I will see you when we visit. Hope to see you at hawkfest.
