The difference is.I don't deal with the number of engines some of you guys do, but I've bought four Chinese carbs for personal use over the years and they have all worked great. They even sent me the tool to adjust the two cycle carb.
When people buy a dud carb from an on line shyster, the equipment ends up in one of our workshops with the line
I don't know what is wrong it can't be the xyz becaause I have just replaced it .
Nine time out of 10 it is the xyz because it was bad out of the box
about 1/2 the customers accept this but the other 1/2 scream & carry on because they think I am forcing them to buy one of my more expensive xyz's when all that needed to be done was a "secret adjustment " that I will not reveal to them because all of technicans are gypsies trams & thieves .
Even worse is when a defective xyz has created a problem down stream , like a bad batch of started that over time melt the battery cables & burn out alternators because they just about flatten the battery every time they get used and the owner turns their mower on & off 30 times each mow .
It is a lottery
Some vendors are good & only sell products that they know are good.
Most unfortuneately are just surplus goods retailers , buy what ever is cheap & sell it for a profit with no idea about what they are selling, where it came from and why it was so cheap ( Quality Control rejects )
