Webers made in Hong Kong?

I have tried two pairs of Empi Hpmx 44mm carbs. They were absolute junk. One pair had porous float chambers that leaked fuel behind the Venturi and slowly flooded the engine. That was a problem that took an age to work out what was actually going on!
The other pair just wouldn't tune up, no matter what I tried. In retrospect I imagine there was a similar problem as above.
After wasting a day's worth of labour, I vowed never to buy Chinese carbs again.

I've heard a lot of not-so-happy stories regarding the EMPI carbs. Not able to tune, linkage fitment, etc. I'm curious if these carbs are from the same foundry/source. If they're the same, then forget it.

I have a set of HPMX  carbs on my squareback and on the Ghia. Easy to tune, set up and jet. The biggest problem I had was the idle screws would not stay in proper adjustment, cured it with a drop of blue locktite. If you personally haven't used them, don't give your opinions about them, because you don't have one!

Italians or Spainish ones for me!

Are we still talking about Webers? Italian chicks are hot, but some are crazy!    I guess my Italian Webers are pretty good too, though not as good as an Italian woman.

Have you seen the new Fiat Abarth commercial???

She is not Italian!!! The girl in the video is Romanian model Catrinel Menghia. 

Beware the false advertising ;-)

I have a set of 40's on my car for a few years. I have had zero issues after I had Art @ Ace go through them a few months after I got them.

Not sure why everyone is blaming me for starting a political thread on here. If you read though the thread I was not the one who started it. I only commented on it. I have never started any political debates on any other forums but the "OFF TOPICS" discussions. That's it!
   Back to Carbs: So your in a legendary car club with awesome cars: Rare splitty's, Ovals, etc. Empi 5 spokes, BRM Pulleys and..................................CHINESE CARBS............................LOL
    If I where in a car club that had any heritage, history, nostalgia etc. I WOULD NOT ALLOW IT!!!! That being said, JUST MY OPINION!!!!

You're entitled to your opinion same as everyone, but there's little point in shouting down anyone that doesn't agree with your own standpoint?

  You've had your rant and your warning.. So let's not make this personal.... 

     That's not why I come here...
