Franklin engine parts availability?
Hi to all,
I'm curious if anyone has first hand experience with keeping Franklin engines running? I'm curious about a couple of homebuilts on barnstormers that are for sale, and I see that some Maule's have them as well (which a friend of mine in interested in buying) and was curious if parts are still being made (especially for the 90 hp version) or if there is any factory support at all? Weren't they being built in Poland for a period of time? Is the type certificate back in the US? Thanks, Ryan in Madison |

Seems like Franklin owners like to keep a backup. -Robert |

The best suppliers I found for my Franklin 6 are Susan in TX at 903-626-5115 and Bruce Kown in GA at 770-386-7435 You can also go to the Franklin news group http://groups.yahoo.com/group/franklinengines/ for more information. -------------------------- SQ2000 canard http://www.abri.net/sq2000 |
