Dam.. bummer. <img src="gr_sad.gif" border="0">

At least that may mean they are popular.
That's gotta be good for them and the consumer.

Small comfort when you're trying to get one, though.

Get you an ATI! <img src="gr_images/icons/wink.gif" border="0"> Just kidding...

They claim they are 50-State legal.
The carb versions are not legal in CA, from what I've heard.

The SQ units were having some sort of trouble I think.
They were on back order back in the summer also.
You could probably get a straight cut geared heavy duty unit right away.
