Im going to do a full rebuild on my 97 twin carb 701 superjet engine. im guessing i'll need a crank, pistons rings bearings seals and all gaskets including rebuild kits for both carbs. Can anyone from Australia recommend a good parts supplier that isn't charging twice the price of the same parts on ebay. It seems cheaper to get most things from America including shipping than what I can find over here. I intend to do all the work myself apart from reboring the cylinders and rebuilding the crank. Any recommendations or suppliers/parts to steer clear of would be much appreciated.

thanks for any advice.

I've had a look at ajsp's website, but was hoping there might be someone else to compare prices with apart from online sellers. I don't intend to by no-name junk from china for my ski but it seems I can get the same name brand parts on ebay or from overseas online stores for much cheaper than local stores, which is ridiculous considering if you add the cost of postage for a crank from the US to the price of the part, i still have enough change left over to re turf my ski compared to buying a crank in Australia. Ive also seen a few threads with wiseco pistons flying to pieces and other expensive big name parts failing too. it seems the whole price versus quality is becoming more of a gamble these days.

Pulled the donk out this arvo and stripped it, all very nasty inside, crank is almost impossible to rotate by hand, 1 cylinder is full of rusty goo, gonna be a big shopping list.
