Consumer Description

THERE SEEMS TO BE A DEFAULT IN THE WIRING HARNESS. THIS CAUSED AN ELECTRICL FIRE THAT BURNED THROUGH A FUEL LINE COMING FROM THE CARBURATOR. A LOT OF DAMAGE WAS DONE TO THE AREA AROUND THE HARNESS AND IT WAS ONLY GOOD LUCK THAT KEPT THE FIRE FROM CAUSING A COMPLETE BURN DOWN. ARE THERE ANY OTHER REPORTS ON THIS TYPE DEFECT? HAS THERE BEEN A CALL BACK FOR THIS DEFECT? I WOULD BE GRATEFUL FOR ANY INFORMATION RELATED TO THIS.
