http://www.4wd.com/productdetails.aspx?pid=923806

the box p/n is correct....and says 46-71 civilian cj2a



is the website wrong? or did i get the wrong carb in the correct box????



help !

 

wrong carb
first carb pictured would be for the F head or overhead valve engine
second carb is for the L flathead engine

 

fark!

just my luck.....why do i always get the jacked up stuff????? i always get the defective stuff...*grumble*

now i'm gonna have to send it back and its gonna be a huuuuuuge pain in the butt.....

and my flatty has to keep sitting there!



i'm cranky now

 

I'm sorry
stuff happens

 

I don't know about 4WD hardware but Summit will send the right part out immediately and you can return the wrong part at your leisure. I would certainly press them for the same service. If you're persuasive enough they may overnight it.:v6:

 

just got off the phone with them

they are sending me a shipping label for the return,

but they wouldnt send me the new part until they get thiers unless i order the new part, then they'd refund me the other one after they get it back.....


for the amount of money i have spent with them they should do a little more bending-over-backwards in my opinion.

see if i keep ordering form them...psh :evil:

 

Heard a new saying yesterday that pretty much sums up your situation: BOHICA. It means "Bend Over Here It Comes Again". 4WD likes to take your money and most of the time they're easy to deal with, but every now and again....BOHICA.

 

well......

4wd has ALL of thier solex's packaged wrong (mine was in an Omix box, which explains that much)


guess i'll get a rebuild kit for the WO

anyone have a link to the bestest place to get the WO rebuild kit?

 

yea it would be faster and easier to go Solex.....

my only concern is that all these people get their parts from the same place....and so one company with bad stock = all companies with a bad stock


I'd hate to order an other one from elsewhere and have them be wrong too.



is Krage (in the link above) a good enough cmopany that i could call and ask them to do a visual on the product first? i got a feeling that quadratec wouldnt......it was like pulling teeth to get 4wd to do it.

 

For whatever it's worth.... I bought a 'solex' carb from these guys about two months ago, it was $99 (best price I've seen). Works pretty good too! Something I didn't bother to research is who all makes "solex" carbs. The one I got was made by Omix if I recall. I'm not sure if other companies make the same "solex style" carb or not. I assumed they were made by Solex, but I dunno.
