Charles,
My version is pretty much summed up in my original response, which is as
follows (along with a little elaboration later). I believe Mr. Turchet and I
are both stating truths, as these are TRUTHFULLY our (differing) opinions.

My main disagreement is regarding the Multi-Fuel engine. Granted, my trucks
are rarely WORKED, (unless you call pulling my buddies engineless (for the
moment) M5A1 up onto a lowboy work!) but they have been quite trouble free.
Oil and oil and fuel filter changes are the extent of the work on all but 1
of mine. The single exception having injection pump problems when I got it
from DRMO. And I have yet to have to adjust the points, choke, carb or change
plugs on a multifuel. Basically get fuel and air into cylinder and it runs,
and runs, and runs.
They don't have a great ride, don't have power steering, and don't lend
themselves to a lot of things, but most of us (and MV mags readers) are
playing with this stuff for fun.
