    A note to old forum members...
    I receive numerous requests from people who can no longer log in because their accounts were deleted. As mentioned in the forum FAQ, user accounts are deleted if you haven't logged in for the past 6 months. If you can't log in, then create a new forum account. If you don't get an error message, then check your email account for an activation message. If you get a message stating that the email address is already in use, then your account still exists so follow the instructions in the forum FAQ for resetting your password.

    Have you forgotten your password or have a new email address? Then read the forum FAQ for details on how to reset it.

    Any email requests for "can't log in anymore" problems or "lost my password" problems will be deleted. Read the forum FAQ and follow the instructions there - that's what we have one for...

  • Returning Visitors

    If you are a returning visitor who never received your confirmation email, then odds are your email provider is blockinig emails from our server. The only thing that can be done to get around this is you will have to try creating another forum account using an email address from another domain.

    If you are a returning visitor to the forum and can't log in using your old forum name and password but used to be able to then chances are your account is deleted. Purges of the databases are done regularly. You will have to create a new forum account and you should be all set.

I had hoped that it would never happen.

those are DJ needles....look at the taper.
do you mind telling us what was paid for these questionable carbs?

and chuck...IP blocking does zilch..notta.
 
If you want to go this way, I have a set of stock 750E needles, slides and diaphragms in good shape I would trade for those if they are similar enough to the DJ 650 needles to use in my 550/675 engine.

Send a PM please if you are interested.

$85 not a whole lot, but I am on a fixed income and have to sell some parts to make up for it.

To be fair, I did receive a reply, here it is.

Honestly man, I just re-read your email on here, and I had no idea they were messed up. I don't remember if those came with the bike, or if they were the ones I purchased from a member. I had two sets of spare carbs because I was putting together a bike. Those carbs went on the bike when I got them, just like the others, and the bike started and ran, so I don't know what to say. Then I dipped them in Berrymans, like everyone does on this site. I don't want you to feel like you got screwed, so help me out here. What can I do to fix this?[/QUOTE]

I sent him an answer to replace or refund. As I told him, don't know how you can dip carbs and not know about the problems such as these have.

the old saying applies here...
if it seems to good to be true....it is.
the parts i sell are not dirt cheap or cheap in general for the most part but i represent them to the best of my ability's.
the OP/buyer did nothing wrong...the seller misrepresented what he had.
get a refund and move on.
good luck.

I have the feeling a lot of people think "cleaning and dipping" the carbs means to dip the complete, unassembled carb in solution and brush off the outside.
 
I am not proud of the used parts that I sell, but they are normally cleaned and always inspected before offering them. I sell them at a reasonable price {what most would consider cheap}.

I did make a mistake once and sent the wrong part, was informed about it and sent the right part only to have it disappear somewhere in the Texas postal system. I refunded the money with apologies.

Welll.............

Welll.............

Did you receive your refund? Is he paying the shipping costs back?
If the carbs were dipped PROPERLY, as you've pointed out, all of these problems would've been evident. AND, if A PERSON were to do so PROPERLY, wouldn't you COMPLETELY clean all of the passages, bowls, remove all jets and needles? And THEN, re-assemble the carbs using new O-rings, AT THE VERY LEAST? Which would lead me to believe $85.00 is a RIDICULOUSLY low price for a SET of carbs. From my OWN experience, it takes me about 2 hours to clean and re-assemble a carb using new O-rings, etc. And that's AFTER disassembly, 2 hour minimum dip, washing, and completely drying them. But hey, I'm meticulous about how CLEAN mechanical devices need to be BEFORE being put back together. As I've grown fond of saying.......... If Cleanliness is next to Godliness, then when it comes to Engines and Especially Carburetors, Cleanliness IS Godliness!

My 2 cents worth.............. I know...... I tend to run off at the fingers....

Have not heard back since his last.

I did not expect the carbs to be clean, that is why I pulled them apart. I inspect all used parts that I buy before using. There are a quite a few fellow members that actually clean up stuff before sending and give an accurate description as well.

hey vince, ****ty story. If it doesn't get resolved get in touch when I'm back home July 1st, after our current bike trip, and I'll send you a set.
 
Well it looks like I am stuck with a bad rack of carbs, but on the bright side, a couple of them are OK if you like oversized Dyna Jet holes in the slides.

I have been in contact with Rob, he has vm not cv, though I appreciate his offer, it is not his responsibility to make them good.
