CARBS UNLIMITED INC carburetors including Weber Edlebrock Holley Quadrajet

I ordered 4 Weber carb filters on 3/16/17 & was told they'd ship in 48 hours. Didn't happen ! Then I was sent a email from a third party payment group ( never agreed to that ) who didn't provide any contact info or phone number should I need to call about my order. I needed to contact them, had to work extra hard to find Carb Unlimited contact info. I was told in the third party email, that I'd be sent a tracking number once my order was shipped. Didn't happen !

Do yourself and your money a favor and AVOID these shyster's at all costs ! They run a **** poor sales group and don't give a crap about it. OH, BTW, I STILL have not gotten my order yet & they (Sharon) had to hear a ear full.

I ordered parts from these fools last year, the order never came. I have the worst UPS ( Usually Poor Service ) delivery folks in the entire U.S. No idea why the order never came. So today I call to try and order from them again, they put all kind of conditions to the sale and imposed fees for me not getting my last order. They expected me to pay for what they never shipped.

BE FOREWARNED........BEFORE YOU SPEND 1 PENNY WITH THESE IDIOTS, MAKE SURE YOU CAN GET IT ELSEWHERE, AND DO JUST THAT.

This is a third rate company with management that is lower than that!

I am writing a review concerning a Weber Redline Carburetor conversion I purchased from Carbs Unlimited for a 1992 Isuzu 2.3L Pickup. $292.94

When the Carb arrived and I opened the box, the first thing I do on ALL orders I make is, get out my Canon PowerShot A590is Camera and take pictures incase anything is missing or damaged.
well I saw right away that this was a Carb that had no doubt been sent back by a previous customer, and they had tried to install it on their vehicle, both the Throttle and Choke Brackets were bent waaay out of alignment and were Fowling each other, the linkage to the Accelerator pump was fowling with the Idle adjustment screw, the Accelerator butterfly could not open, and one of the Gaskets showed signs of being used.( there is no way this Carb came from Weber like this )

So I sent 5 pictures to Carbs Unlimited and asked them to look at them ( in one of the pictures I asked if a part was missing? ) and 7 days and 3 emails later I heard NOTHING from them.
So I called and asked for a RMA, which they gave me.
then the next day after I sent it back, along with 10 pictures and a letter explaining the problem ( $20.03 shipping & insurance ) a day later I got a email from a guy named (Steve telling me that the part I thought was missing was in fact not, that the carb came that way! ( TRUE ) But he never addressed the 4 other pictures of the BENT LINKAGE the most serious aspect.

So they returned $248.95 to PayPal and charged me a restocking fee of $43.99 for a defective Product they sent to me.
( I bought the exact same Carb # K 697 from www.drivewire ...for 2.95 less and in perfect condition)

That's when I contacted the BBB and sent them the same pictures.
The BBB after a couple weeks finally got hold of them and they told BBB that they straightened the linkage out with a pair of pliers and that the carb worked fine!!! (BULLSHIT) the linkage is fairly heavy metal and to pry on it with pliers can damage the butterfly shaft, and besides...I bought a supposedly NEW ITEM, not something they think I should re manufacture!

I am not a amateur when it comes to Engines, I am 67, been around a while and have rebuilt Engines from 1 cyl. 2 and 4 stroke, 1-2-3-4-6-8...straight and V engines and Diesel, even converted Volkswagen engines to Aircraft.....Bensen B-8M Gyrocopter...N4694.....besides this, I was raised on a Farm and I know BULLSHIT when I see it and smell it.....haven't tasted it though!

So they agreed with the BBB to refund my $43.99 but not my return shipping....so I agreed to take the shipping loss....But as of this writing I have not received my money or heard from Carbs Unlimited...so I have reopened the compliant with BBB.

So if anyone reading this still wants to do business with this company, be my guest!, but if you need a Weber Redline conversion, I suggest you go to www.drivewire ..www.partsgeek.com or some other company that sells it

below is a letter from another customer....

In July 2011 I sent by USPS a Carburetor and a money order for $330.00 to Unlimited Carburetors in Auburn, Wash. for a complete rebuild.


Their physical address is: 727 22nd St. NE, Auburn, WA 98002-2837 and the phone number is: (425) 251-0210


The Carburetor was returned 3 days later and still had the old electrical solenoid in its place, had no other parts replaced whatsoever, was missing 5 screws (they were present when shipped), and still has heavy grease deposits left all over it indicating it had never even been cleaned!


A phone call was made to Unlimited Carburetors inquiring about taking my money order for $330.00 and not doing anything whatsoever. The person who answered was very elusive when asked about the lack of work and flat out lied telling me that it had been cleaned in an ultrasonic like that was all they did to rebuild a carburetor.


I asked for a refund of the $330.00. There has been no response yet and I do not expect one.


Straight up; these people are thieve
