HKS relocating all parts and service to the USA

[HKS Engines]

HKS, Co., LTD, manufacturer of the  HKS 700E Light Sport Engine, and its worldwide aviation engine distributor, Quicksilver Aircraft Northeast, LLC, have announced the relocation of parts supply and distribution to the United States from Japan.

 

Quicksilver Aircraft Northeast LLC, based in upstate New York,  has been a dealer for HKS engines since 2001, and the HKS 700E Distributor and Authorized Service Center since 2014.

 

"We have negotiated with HKS to purchase the remaining inventories of spare parts and engines, and move them to New York to avoid delays in parts shipping and service of the HKS 700E engines in the field.  The inventory available is enough to service these engines for decades to come, given the engines reliability and simplicity. And because we are managing all the inventory, we have been able to lower prices on many of the more expensive parts.  Overhaul costs and turnaround times will be reduced, and parts orders will usually ship within 24 hours", stated Chris Hatin, owner of Quicksilver Aircraft Northeast LLC.

 

The HKS 700E is an ASTM Compliant 60hp Four-Stroke, opposed twin cylinder engine, specifically designed for aviation use with a 1000 Hour TBO. Since its release in 1998, nearly 1500 engines have been sold worldwide.

Will this mean that new, complete crate motor assemblies will be available in the future? 

[HKS Engines]

No.  New engines will not be produced.  We have assembled long blocks and a large inventory to service existing engines for the distant future, and popular parts like gaskets continue to be produced.  We will be building overhauled zero-time engines to service new installations.

Is this to beat the orangutans tariffs

[HKS Engines]

No - it's to service customers better.  Tariffs do not affect us.
