Re: 540 BBC 68 Burb Dually 54" Boggers on Rocks

So the machine shop who assembled the motor and dynoed it for 20 minutes "forgot" to put any gear oil in the blower snout, it ended up screwing up the 4 of the 6 Teflon strips on the rotors, knocking the barrings out of balance, and fried the gears....

No worries though, Don Hampton at Hampton Blowers came to the rescue and fixed it free of charge! (900 dollars in parts and labor). Oh and he even called the machine shop and let them have it! Great dude and awesome customer service i really hope i have an excuse to put a blower on another motor just so i can use his product again!

Blower Timeline:
Figured it out on Sunday 11/18
Sent it to him monday 11/19
He got it on wendesday 11/21
Sent it back to me with tracking number 11/23
Scheduled to be at my door Tuesday 11/27
