was as far as parts pricing goes, I can't fault the factory. I had problems with the valve train a year out of warranty and the factory flew a technician out to look it over. He agreed that it was a factory issue but because it was out of the warranty period we worked a deal where he supplied the parts and I the labor. I thought that was fair. I would have like for him to pick up the entire cost but a warranty is a warranty so I could see his point. At least he worked with me on it and didn't just blow me off. Minus one point for Yanmar.
