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. |

Forget that, I don't think it will matter.
This is getting more interesting. Here's a better Redline explanation, from 2008: http://genuineweber.blogspot.com/ But the craziest thing is this, the Alibaba search results for "weber carubretor china", with 502 HITS!!! 502!! And look at all the IDF's!! http://www.alibaba.com/countrysearch/CN/we...carburetor.html Good lord! I just have to say, there's NO WAY you'll ever know what's genuine Weber any more. Just the castings, none of the internals? Or carb body castings too? Are all those Chinese companies really respecting the trademarks? If not can you even depend on the identifying keys Redline listed any more? I kind of doubt it. What it says to me is FUEL INJECTION. Or at the very least Dellorto. EDIT: Ha ha, even SPANISH IDF's, out of Ningbo/Shanghai: http://www.alibaba.com/product-detail/Auto...0122851231.html Fifty bucks apiece? |
