(my records indicate I purchased it on March 13) It is leaking profusely at the stem already. It's bad enough that I'll have to do the whole process over, but my parts man says he doesn't think warranty will replace it. [Reply]   [No Email]

I"d probably eat the cost of the fuel tap if one of my good customers couldn"t get 6 monthss out of it. OEM standard parts warranty is 90 days, I believe. If I weren"t 700 miles from home today, I"d tell you for sure............. [Reply]  [No Email]

Different tractors that I have installed brass shut off's I got at the hardware, just had to come up with the right thread combinations. They were inexpensive and work flawlessly. [Reply]  [No Email]

When it came and I saw the "quality" of it chose to replace the o ring in the original one instead. Suppose you just need to change the O ring using a nitrile O ring. Pete [Reply]  [No Email]

In my case, the thing didn't leak to the outside world - it just didn't shut all the way off. And it's a miserable job to re-do! There's no quality control with these parts today. I did a rebuild on my TSX 769 carb and found that the new throttle shaft was machined wrong and held the throttle plate crooked enough that it jammed in the bore. - I had to put the old one back in which worked fine. I guess that's just the way things are. But I hate to waste time and money!- Will [Reply]  [No Email]

If that's how it's going to be then china's finest price will work too... Of course... mabey that corn whiskey is playing a role in this too... Rod [Reply]  [No Email]
