Nice Blankey!!

I focus too much on my work to notice such things! How truculent of you!

 

[HarleyT]

Just curious....

Just curious....

I noticed.

 

[HarleyT]

OEM carbs that didn't work?
Why? Where? Didn't you take them back?

 

[HarleyT]

Or OEM carbs that didn't work after you tried to rebuild?

 

[Philbert]

A bunch of OEM carbs that didn't work . A good amount of them had leaky accelerator pumps and I JB welded the port off and with some success.

Which port? Details?

Thanks.

[HarleyT]

Yeah, lots of details.

Sorry, I don't really read all of this crap.
So you are having trouble "modifying" oem carbs, and injecting your complications into another thread?

Nope I find that I have to rebuild old OEM stock when the new crap fails so it is quite relevant contrary to what you believe! If you want I will stop didn't think it would have been a problem for you. I took all the posts down since it bothered you!

Just wondering what you are getting at.

So you are saying that the replacement OEM carbs are faulty/bad?

Or are they copies?

 

[HarleyT]

Folks seem to get easily offended if members don't read all of their AS posts and be fully in-tune with what they are thinking/pushing.
Then throw up vague posts or pics, and expect readers to know what the #### they are talking about.
That is why I am asking the questions.
If you don't respond, that is OK as well.
Why the blanket with carbs/kits?
What/why did they fail?
Simple questions, no reason to get butthurt and seek a safe place...

 

[HarleyT]

Just explain your posts a bit, then the members here might be able to follow your train of thought.

I think facebook has ruined all forms of discussion. If you try to discuss any topic, you are a trouble maker.

No I am saying the aftermarket carbs are hit and miss and don't through your old ones away yet you still may need them. I don't know what the hell a towel on the bench is of importance one way or the other now explain that to me? Its to soak up gas OK?

 

[HarleyT]

So, are the carbs on your towel, are they aftermarket carbs that could not be rebuilt, or failed? Or are they oem.

I was just trying to understand the meaning of all of the carbs, and the kits, and what you were trying to assert.

Let the towel thing go, I was just teasing you a little.

But the meaning of all of the carbs on the towel with kits are, you just saying that one should keep old junk carbs?
