Found this kit on sleezebay. Parts look okay from the picture. Says Japan on the big card. Course one could print what they want on it. This is coming from Thailand.

Looking to freshen up my Wisconsin Robin WI-185. It's Spec No EY20V800454 series. This kit only says WI-185. Head gasket looks just like my original. Rest of the gaskets look legit too.

Would you guys trust it?

I’m wondering why I can’t find the words identifying Wisconsin Robin, or W1-185 on the the packaging? OEM packaging would have that very visible. Plus I don’t remember seeing Wisconsin gaskets packaged like that. I would say “How much of a gambler are you”. Might want to contact the seller???

IF the card is not counterfit then that is a brand of aftermarket parts I have bought & used with no problems
Bynorm used to wholesale that brand prior to being taken over by Stens
The engine fitment is usually in the top right corner , not shown in the photo and multifitments are on the back.
Rule 1 with buying from evilpay is to check the "other items", none is listed
Rule 2 is to check feedback ( mostly good ) & vendor has been around since 2005
Checking past sales & "store" shown nothing but mower parts.
The small number of sales indicates an irregular supply of parts
Vendor is probably ligitimate ( parts may have fallen off the back of a truck )
