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.
So is anyone else running the Rochester B1 on a 194 engine ?. If so what is your main jet size and what’s your MPG. Thanks
Jon at the Carb Shop may be able to help or let you know the Carter W-1 carb number that is a great replacement for the original W-1 on a 32.
