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. |

Weber has been owned by Worldpac for years.
Any carburetor that is bought today MUST be blueprinted before installation. I don't care who makes it or where it comes from. That said, since we have to recreate everything anyway (right out of the box), I have had the best luck with the EMPI HPMX carbs, which is sad, as they are Chinese. The "Genuine" parts and carbs have a quite interesting source of origin, too. Anyone who buys any carburetor new and thinks they are just going to install it and drive away has another thing coming. Sad part is people spend more money on "genuine" and etc to avoid problems, but they don't know, what they don't know. Back when I had the parts sales division I stopped selling carbs, because everyone wanted their inability to be able to tune or understand their carbs to be the seller's fault. |
