Think of it as a good place holder for a decent $30 Fakuni. It is just like Glocks, great gun, the sights are more like placeholders for real sights.

By the time I was talking about, the Corvair already had a niche market. The two big dogs in that segment of the market were the Studebaker Lark and the Ford Falcon, neither of which could compete with the Corvair as a semi sports car. As time went on, the Corvair became sportier and sportier, and did very well. Until Ralph Nader came along....ARH

I saw a documentary about Wal-Mart and there was a guy that worked for a major company that was a vendor of theirs and he said that he had seen Wal-Mart purchasing agents get up and walk away from the table over 1/2 of a cent per unit cost because they were talking about buying millions of the item and the overall cost was more than they wanted to pay. So what seems like a trivial amount can actually add up to millions of dollars and the bean counters are only concerned with the bottom line.

What part of the carb was destroyed by ethanol? I keep hearing of carbs destroyed by ethanol but I've never seen one.

O-rings and gaskets dry out and get brittle, brass parts turn green and start to "pit out", and any other part that doesn't like "water absorbed fuel" or "alcohol drying gas"... lots of ways "ethanol fuel" can destroy a carb IME

My carb wasn't affected but I had my stock fuel line swell up on the inside to where it wouldn't allow any fuel to flow. In fact when I took it off to replace it you couldn't even blow air through it. Now I just run ethanol free gas when I can get it.
