Re: carburator
I just purchased a Weber 32 ADF copy for $110 shipped. I have a Weber 32ADFA now and I really wanted to see how good of a copy this carb is. Delivery is between Dec. 30th - Feb. 10th. I used the "Best Offer" of $80 and they accepted. You might could get it cheaper.

I got one of the 34adfa copies form this seller, they shipped me one that somebody else had tried and returned to them. It had tool marks from being disassembled and badly reassembled, cross threaded shaft nuts and improperly installed springs. They insisted it was new and never used but it smelled of gas and was improperly packaged. Since I had a few things come up before I could install it I went outside the return window and they don't respond to my emails.
YMMV but inspect it well and install and test it quickly.

Thanks Larry
You should have made a case with ebay/Pay Pal so they don´t get away with it.
A lot of the chinese suppliers have a challenge with English, but they understand the lanquage of money.
I took the chance and ordered one,. interesting to see what I get.

Re: carburator
I have received my "Weber 32ADF Clone/Copy" and here is what I have found.
The carb. came very well packaged. It was purchased on Nov. 29th and I received it Dec. 19th.
The castings look good but in the carb. primary and secondary bore there is come casting "flash" that will need to be removed with a small set of die files. The accelerator pump arm was binding (I replaced it with the one from an 28/32ADHA and it bolted right on). Primary throttle shaft bushing was installed in the wrong location. The spring that returns the secondary actuator arm was binding (I had to bend the spring where it anchors to fix the binding).
The carb. actuator arm is in the wrong location and is not attached to the arm that engages the choke (there is a tab on the choke arm and with some cutting and welding you can attach the two like Weber did). Every screw and jet were only just finger tight (no force required to break loose). No jets had any markings. There was no fuel cutoff solenoid but the Weber one screwed right in. This carb. looks like a Weber and will accept weber parts but don't expect Weber quality at this price. I'm going to relocate the actuator arm and attach it to the choke arm, install the same jets sizes I have in my 32ADFA and try it out on the next warm day.
