I got my Slick mag kit yesterday, I got 6 extra spark plugs included with the kit. I guess that I only paid 1300 for the kit considering the extra plugs. Tim

I just got the price for the parts to overhaul my MA3-SPA, 875 for the parts and 3 hours labor to overhaul. I just had one overhauled 2 months ago and the entire overhaul was 612 including labor. Tim

Tim:

Just wondering where you got your shoulder harness from and was that price of 137.00 for just one or a set of two?
