I saw this on ebay, http://www.ebay.com/itm/PZ26-JAPAN-...N-PZ-26-RACING-CARB-CARBURETOR-/400279555791?
and figured that's a heck of a price for a "Japan made", "Keihin" carburetor, so I bought one, thinking it'd be good for either my Subaru Robin 6.5hp or the Briggs 8hp I'm rebuilding.
What I got was a Chinese clone...
so I emailed the seller this:
By the terms of their ad, I've got 30 days to return it (I pay shipping)...
I'm a bit pissed about the misleading ad, but if it works...how well would you expect a clone PZ26 to do on a Subaru Robin (EX17?) or a Briggs 8hp?
So a $30 Keihin was truly too good to be true, but now what would you guys recommend?

I just received my carburetor, unfortunately instead of a Japan made Keihin PZ26 as advertised, I received a Chinese-made "Benma" PZ26, apparently made by the "Chongqing Kema Carburetor Make Co., LTD". What are our options to correct this?
Hello, This is a carb made to the same specs as the Keihin. This carb is just as good as the original Keihin. You may return for a full refund. Sorry if you thought it was a Keihin.
