Brent,
isn't that engine manf in NC??
Just an update boys, This sled still is a winner all the way around!
One day I hooked a small tree with my ski and broke the A arms on one side but that was my fault trying to go down a trappers narrow trail.
The engine has never had so much as a hick up and I have went 225 miles on a tank of fuel just going 60 or so on hard pack.
The oil changes are a bit pricey at $45 a pop but after more than 2000 miles I am very impressed
My son now has bought one as well with the same results
Mine is going to test the Prince Edward Island snow this winter as I have been busy moving from Alberta to there this summer!
This is just some what came in the e-mail. My reply is to see if 10 engines is a minimum order. You would think you chould get just one to prototype your product.
If a Euro is 1.34 US they will be arouind 6000 each.
Her it is.
Engine prices
Dry sump turbo charged, 125 to130hp engine (PN 10055 and application kit 103922) as described and 75hp Naturally Aspirated engine with external generator (PN 10056 and application kit 103923) priced in euros in the following annual quantities:

If you sign a multi-year agreement for future purchases, you can achieve price breaks over a longer period of time. For instance, a commitment for four years at 50 units/year gets the 200 unit price break.
To further your development efforts, Weber will offer you the 100 unit price break on your first order.
All prices are subject to modifications if the parties agree on a different scope of supply and/or different terms of delivery.
Packaging costs for these items are:
Engine: 18 euro

7.8 Exclusion Clause
It must be emphasized that the MPE 750 engine is not developed and/or built for use in
aeronautical applications and is not certified for such applications. Therefore Weber

Thanks Mark, may be I shall ask local industrial manufacturer to buy the engine from them for me, But the minimum order do require 10 or even one for the same price range ?
I will be appreciated if you could give me the contact of the factory representative.

Randy at Watcon.com can help you get a complete with wires engine you need.
Yes Eric,
I have found these people are probably the best source of knowledge about the Weber for the general public.
I have been thinking about buy a sled myself and stripping it. I was waiting to see if they were going to go to the 800 cc engine for 2011 but they did not. Also I was checking on a few Arctic Cat 1000 cc two cylinder 4 strokes. But the Weber appears the most promising power to weight ratio with out screaming like a two stroke and having the small power band of the two stroke. It also appears to have the best engine block design to attach the PSRU. (REDRIVE UNIT). That is a major concern when adapting a non aircraft engine to aircraft use.
Here is the link for Brent's post. Brent Brown, Scott Essex, Canada Rhino , and myself are very much interested in doing something with the Weber. It appears that Ernie B. is also interested now. I still have my reservations about the Yamaha, but I applaud Racer and the Yamaha supporters for what they are doing to find Rotax alternatives.

By electronics , I mean everything require to start up the engine after you get it.
Mark, thanks for the great information, It do help for me to access one running weber motor, But don't know what is the meaning "plus your electronics to make it run and shipping", Sorry for my poor english.
I was thinking about to buy one brand new Polaris FST IQ to strip out the engine for use and sell the SLED without engine, But considering the import tax for vechicle around 50% of the price in my country, I gave up my mid and switch to looking for chance to buy new completely engine only, Now that you open a door for me, thanks.
I will not mentioned aircraft application use of course.
