City Racer to the rescue! (1 Viewer)

[accidentaltexan]

Hello, all!

I bought a carburetor from City Racer LLC back in November, when I first picked up my 40 project. Between ordering and delivery, I quickly discovered that I had way more to fix than I first assumed, and my project scope went from a few fixes to a frame-off (much to my wife’s irritation). I put the carburetor box on a shelf and got to work tearing everything apart.

Ten months later, I finally opened the box to install today, and discovered that the fuel inlet threads were bashed in. After a minute of two of cursing, I emailed City Racer.

They got back to me in TEN MINUTES! And immediately offered to send out a replacement for the inlet, no questions asked.

I can’t recommend this company enough. I’ve purchased a couple grand worth of parts from them this year - every part shipped quickly - but this kind of service guarantees I’ll keep going back. Let’s keep these folks in business. They’re doing it right.

Thanks, City Racer!

If you drive often or the truck sits often with fuel, purchase an Aisan float to replace the float in the Fuji (City Racer is the seller here, not the mfg). They are known to absorb water over time and it will cause a no start fault due to overfilling bowl.

I like city racer and other vender here. I open and inspect every package I get asap. If the box looks damaged I take pic's before opening and ask the delivery person to document its damaged if I can (not very often that happens).

Thanks for the heads up! I hadn’t heard that before.

Good advice. I didn’t realize how big the can of worms I was about to open was when I bought the carb. The list of lessons learned on this project is - literally - 57 pages long, as I’ve been documenting each step I’ve taken. I’ve been trying to follow a “touch your project every day, no matter how small the touch is” philosophy, and logging each action taken / lesson learned.

I’m adding “check packages on arrival” today.

Agreed. I know the thread has become laudatory comments....but I wanted to say that @Racer65 appears
to have upped the game on ordering and turnaround times as well. Its always been fast but execution of the
order is exemplar. Its not just "having the part" ... but "getting it to you in a timely manner" is something i've come
to appreciate more .... particularly recently.

I feel like I'm "standing on the shoulders of giants" when I think about how the community and vendors have helped me.
