Want your BME engine fixed?  You've come to the right place.

Please visit our Main Page at WWW.ModelAircraftEngineering.com

I've been a user, flyer, and promoter of the BME Engines line for almost 8 years.  Times are changing, the company may not be with us much longer, and there are thousands of modelers who run BME engines.  Time for someone to step up and offer a service for minor repairs to this engine line until a better solution comes along.

I'll be offering several basic services, as well as technical advice on ALL BME engines.  Basic services will include "Topping out" the engine, testing and trouble shooting, piston/cylinder repairs for the old style 96-102 cc engines, carburetor rebuilds, and replacement of old style single bolt hubs with 6 or 12 bolt hub pieces fitted with 10mm alignment shafts.  We also offer exhaust system design and engine performance advice free of charge.  After all, everyone needs an exhaust system. . and everyone wants their engine to perform and run as well as possible. . which considerations are right for you?

Lastly, the BME-115 has issues with overall engine running characteristics.  We have engineered a permanent fix for this problem which involves specially contoured modifications to the reed block and carburetor mounting block, 3 distinct carburetor modifications, and 2 internal engine modifications, all aimed at smoothing flow, enhancing velocity, improving smoothness of operation, and putting an end to the fuel puddling and stumbling issues that plague this engine design.

Here's a list of basic repairs and modifications:
 
BME-115 Intake Tract Modification:  $85
Cylinder "Top Out" (Twin):  $125.00
     (Includes new rings, gaskets, decarbonizing, honing, test run and setting of carburetor needles)
Replacement of Crank Hub:  $75
     (Includes New Hub, 6 bolts, Top washer, installation labor, re-timing of engine)
Carburetor Rebuild:  $40
     (Includes cleaning, replacement of all necessary parts, re-tuning on a running engine)
Replacement of 96/102/105 series BME cylinders, pistons, and top end parts:  My cost for the parts (no profit margin) + $30/hr. labor rate.
Installation of 14mm-10mm spark plug adapter rings (for CM-6 plugs):  $15
     (Includes adapter ring, per cylinder)
 
All other repairs are on an as-needed/special request nature, and will be discussed before the work is done.
 
Shipping for all repairs above $75 is free.  Under that figure is up to UPS or USPS.
 
There is a 30-day guarantee on all parts and labor against defects in workmanship or product.  All warranties are void if the engine is tampered with, run lean, overheated, or damaged in a crash or due to misuse, abuse, or enduser negligence.  All customers will receive a printout concerning the work performed, as well as any notes on the overall condition or performance of the items involved.
