Following up on my emulsion tube issue this week:
These carbs were purchased from Webercarbsdirect.com and were represented as genuine Webers. They are not. They are Chinese knock-offs. The retailer refuses to take them back. You've been warned! Do everyone a favor and spread this around to help others from getting screwed. |

Joe has been doing an awesome job of dealing with way too many issues with my motor rebuild. I am glad he is posting so everyone knows what you can encounter with a project. As for the carbs they were purchased last May as a birthday present to myself. I am disappointed that what was supposed to improve the performance actually caused a engine failure. I actually pulled a set of good Italian carbs off to put in "new Webers". For those novices who want to rebuild their own motor understand there is a very good reason to hire a true professional like Joe. He has also had to deal with another issue with a different supplier who sold a camshaft that required significant additional work that was not disclosed at the time of sale. The company that sold the camshaft is reputable and was recommended through 914 World members. The supplier stated he would not have sold the camshaft without additional parts until I called and they admitted that they indeed took the order over the phone. The camshaft supplier did give the additional parts at no charge but that did nothing for additional labor required.
