This topic has been discussed ad nauseum on these forums, but I am going to bring it up one more time in a different light.
This thread is NOT about quality; if you are happy with the price/quality, then I am happy for you.
What this thread is about is service. Just had the fourth call today, and the ninth call this week from folks with carburetors that look like something but with no identification, wanting parts. These aren't Rochesters or Carters with no tag. These are clones.
If I do not have a positive identification, then I have no parts for sale. This policy is for your protection as well as mine. And since there is no way to my knowledge of identifying this "stuff", I have no desire to even think about the manufacture of parts.
If you are going to purchase one of these clones, I would highly suggest you get some information from the vendor as to a rebuilding kit manufacturer and kit number that fits this carburetor! Keep the information in the glove box of your vehicle. And if you sell the vehicle with the clone in place, leave the information with the vehicle, and show it to the buyer.
We were the "court of last resort" for the folks that called. I hate to tell folks they have a "door stop", but that is exactly what these callers have.
So, if you feel the need to buy this stuff; do your service homework AT THE TIME OF PURCHASE! ANYONE CAN GET A BAD TANK OF FUEL!
