This is just like the Chinese connecting rods from Eagle when they arrived 15 years ago. They were terrible and not usable out of the box without a complete breakdown, recut the caps, and re-hone. But they were made of decent material and could be made to work. Now Eagle stuff has improved dramatically over the years to the point where only about 10% of their stuff needs to be re-worked before use. I expect these carburetors will get better and better over the next 10 years as hundreds of buyers complain about poor idle, super rich running and other driveability issues. In about 10 more years, they may have a viable option for the ever dwindling supply of good original cores.
