Default Brillelli Repairs

Hi guys, I own a Brillelli 25. I crashed about a year ago, am trying to get it repaired, and here in Aruba there is no one who can straighten the crank for me. I am traveling to the US in a few days. I wanna carry the engine with me and get it fixed. I have been trying to get a hold of Scott for the last three weeks at least, but don't get him on the phone and did also send him a few emails without any answer. I am also looking for the black plastic part that goes between the carb and the case.
Can anyone tell me if brillelli does repairs or if there is someonther company that would be able to help me?
To be honest am quite dissapointed in the service promissed at Brillelli, it is a great enging, but the service is not there.

From what I have read on this web site. Scott has been called away to handle a family issue. My experience has been nothing but great with him and I have never bought an engine from him! He has never failed to get back to me (not always quickly) to answer all and any questions I have had about doing my own engine conversions. I am sure he will eventually get back to you. Family comes first.

I used Ralph at rcignitions to straighten the crankshaft on my Brillelli 366GT. He does great work.

was just on horizon hobby website, the brillelli parts look very much like the zenoah parts. Do you guys know if Scott happens to be using the same parts in the brillellies? the crank of the zenoah G26S shure looks a lot like the one from the brillelli 25 and so does the easy link carb adaptor for the g26.
Please let me know if you know anything. Tnx guys

Like the post above, Get it to Ralph, I think he only charges about $25.00 to fix cranks.

...another vote for Ralph, and also don't cut Scott at Brillelli short, it's been talked about on here for a bit that he's had to deal with some things outside his business. he offers some of the best cust serv around, we all need our breaks for things like this.

P43W,
The Brillelli 46 uses the Poulan 46cc jug and internals..... This is a good dependable engine for the price, I've had one for the last year, great service, but right now Scott has problems outside the shop...

Eugene,


Do you know what is used to build the 366GT? I am looking to replace a piston ring.

Thanks!
