Has anyone had any experience with this Carburetor. Price seems almost too good. I messaged the guy to confirm it was actually new and not rebuilt. He said new. Any comments are welcome. It would go on a slightly modified 170 for street use....thanks, Mark |

I have bought a few from him. At one time, it seemed like he had V-8 and six cyl mixed up, as I got both styles. I have talked to him about how to tell the difference, by looking at the choke linkage. The only problem I had, was the carbs are calibrated very lean. Had to richen them up. I have one of the V-8 carbs on my wifes 88 Dippy w/318. At cruise, the AFR meter, is almost off scale lean. Only the last led is lit. However, it doesn't have a lean surge, and is getting about 22 mpg, so I left it alone. PS: did this along with a early distributer and HEI conversion, to get rid of the lean burn. |

I bought a BBD rebuild from him that ran great for a couple weeks, but then started flooding the engine like crazy and overflowing/backfiring. So it's due for another rebuild, by my hands. Might have just been bad luck or some dirt creeping in there during the install. Things might be different with the new one. |

I bought one of the r8691 from this guy and so far so good, EXCEPT it came without the fuel inlet valve. When I contacted the guy he was a real ASS. He would not respond to me, then when he did he insulted me and never sent the part. He refunded the money and I bought a rebuild kit and fixed the problem. SO long story short... The carb is working but the guy is a dick! |

It may be a simple piece of dirt on the needle/seat.

Poor communication..... X2 on that one. He won't sell to overseas buyers, so I emailed him to ask if he could ship to a US address and I will collect it during a trip I had planned. He said Ok to this idea, asked for all the necessary info and said he would send me an invoice. I sent all the info and I never heard back..... Time waster....My fix was to buy a NOS bbd here in Australia |
