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?
