BG sucks when it comes to customer service
i noticed on saturday that after i took my car for a quick ride last friday night my rear fuel bowl on my king demon carb was empty. i removed the base plate and fuel was leaking from the metering block or main body and into the engine. i called B.G and they said that they never saw a pourus body or block and to replace the power valve plug gasket. so after a new block and power valve plug gaskets it was still seeping. i looked real close to find that the lower fuel bowl bolts holes in the body are too close to the gasket surface, you can see the lines where the tap almost broke completely through. looks like they milled too much off of the gasket surface. so that is where the fuel is coming through and obviously causing my rich condition. i bought the thing back in 04 but didn't take it out of the box 'till last october when i fired it off. lets see now what B.G. will have to say and if they will stand by there product.
Good Luck !!!!
BG sucks when it comes to customer service
man that will be tuff, U bought that 6 years ago. And now u finally going to use it. GL. But it sounds like all it needs is to be drilled deeper and retaped right?
no, it is like they milled too much off of the bottom of the body. you can see where the tap was run through and started to break through, body is junk. i will get a pic. soon.
oooo, u can see the side of the threads. try sending the pics the BG also.
i will be calling them tomorrow. you can also just see it on one of the primary threads too.
well they have my carb and saw the issue and are repairing it at no cost. once i get it back i will take it apart to clean, inspect and report back here. at least they saw what was wrong and didn't argue.
That's good Paul,you don't hear good news too often these days.
got it back, took it apart to blow everything out and found some screwed up treads. was able to repair but their quality control sucks, i won't buy another carb from them again.
let them know what u found
That's the problem their is no quality control anymore,and nobody gives a shit.Originally Posted by paul c
well, there is more. i was able to fix the first issue w/o much issue. i went to remove the front bowl again to replace the p.v. and one of the heli-coils pulled out with the bolts. i thought no big deal, i will just get another one except there aren't any threads to put one into. looks like an 8 year old hyped up on pixie sticks and blind folded did the machine work on this. i called them back and i got the same guy and he seemed pretty upset with the issue, as in who ever worked on it. he said to send it back directly to him, we will see what happens. time to buy a back up carb (a holley this time)
hey i think think they are trying to make it right. Don't forget u bought it 6 years ago and they are trying to make it right
the guy that i am dealing with is trying. i did buy it 6 years ago but it was obvious that it was sitting in the box 'till last november and the body didn't become defective in the box.
