There is diffculty in the Moose Valley.
Due to an economic slump, personal situations and other factors, my pump guy has had to leave the authorized Stanadyne shop that turns out the Moose products for me. He now has another job in a completely different field, and may or may not have time to continue the Moose program. I have been leaving messages for him on his cell, but he has not returned my calls. I was going to try to wait until I had a chance to talk to him before making this announcement, but I continue to field requests for product and with a large degree of uncertainty in the air I feel it may be best to explain this situation, even if it causes a loss of interest. This shop was a 2 man operation. It is now a 1 man operation who is the owner. The owner has indicated to me that he wants to continue to be able to provide our beloved Moose items. He can handle injectors and even a standard pump rebuild. But the problem is, the man who left the company is the only one who really knows how to calibrate the Moose Pump. You guys have heard me harp on this before... the calibration is as much art as it is science. The artist cannot teach the art! The hope at this point, since the parting was on good terms, is that perhaps the owner can do the rebuilding and the Moose pump god can just come in to do the calibration on a Saturday, or something like that. But what this definitely means is that turn around time for Moose products is now probably now around a month. Either that, or the program is dead. Not sure at this point, but we will all have to cross our fingers that some assemblance of order can be preserved.
