Had an old Rochester b1 carburetor that the throttle part of body was wore out.  So I seen this Chinese clone on Amazon. 
After getting it everything looked the same I think even the rebuild kit I have will work if needed. After about 500 miles I’m happy enough I just received my second one to replace the original Carter W1 on my other car that has been causing some issues. At less the $170 I think it was worth it. Just another option if needed. Anyone else tried this carburetor.

I have no experience with that carburetor. I'm deeply suspicious of Chinese products. I hope your experience is better than mine. Time will tell whether the "high quality" blurb on the box is accurate or not.

@tiny I understand about being suspicious of quality. Just got the second one on and so far good. Raining so test drive will have to wait. I was looking at other replacements and they were around $400 by time shipped here. Only think I don’t like is the shiny plating. After I make sure all is good might try to dirty it up a bit.
