I have seen some new Rochester B copied carburetors. They look just like the originals but have a bright finish. I think I know where they are coming from. Are the major truck parts vendors selling these? has anyone seen one in use?

As far as I now, none of our well known and established vendors are offering these overseas made wannabe Rochester B's.

For the most part, reading through many posts from fellow Stovebolter's that have purchased and attempted to use them (they carry numerous brand names, but likely are all made by the same company), most have reported that their performance and reliability is anywhere from mediocre to poor.

They look pretty, but they don't seem to step up to the plate IMHO.

Others will likely chime in further with their experiences.
