Title: More crappy reproduction parts: WARNING TO THE BS WORLD
Post by: Jeff McBrayer on October 01, 2019, 09:05:49 AM
I bought a Tora carb cap from Bill Buchholz as Richard was out of them.  While the cap looked decent ( not good). I installed it, ran the bike up and down the street, when I got back
the cap had melted all over the side of the engine.  Buchholz would not even answer my messages.    I messaged Richard and he sent me one the looks great, fit good and did
not  " melt" when I rode the bike. Be wary of mr Buchholz.   Jeff McBrayer

Alan. You are correct, I should have waited, but really I did wait.  Bought crappy bad one, had it melt, then got a good one from Richard, so I waited anyway...... Ha ha.. Jeff
