I've emailed HF Customer Service for the part and even if it has to
ship
from China, I'll be glad for it. But I'm not optimistic about it
being
available.

HF: "Part not available"

But a guy on eBay parts out "freight damaged" HF engines.
Crankshaft is $42 shipped.

I have 3 alternatives:

1. A new crank: $42 delivered. Several hours to R&R. It's still
HF.

2. A used Honda engine: $70, 2 hrs to pick up. May require some
fitting to the vac. It's _used_.

3. A new HF engine: $114 delivered. Bolt on. I'd have the old for
spare parts. It's _HF_.

What to do, what to do?

Does #3 give you useful warranty protection?
