I purchased a carb for my scooter with a 40qmb 50 cc engine a week ago for my scooter and could not get the thing to start and i reinstalled my oringinal scooter and the scooter fired right up. I asked if I could return the carb or exchange it and they said not after in was installed. How would i know if it worked if i didnt install it. what are your thoughts?

Sounds jacked up to me. Usually, that only applies to electrical components, but a carb???

No parts dealer will do a return on any part that has been used or installed. As for your question. you asked "How would i know if it worked if i didnt install it" not sure what you meant by that. Maby you worded it wrong. Also that new carb remember the bowl has to fill up with gasoline to work. Maby if its an electric choke that could be the problem.I know it sucks to get a part and not work but hopefully you can get it to work. GOOD LUCK!

If a dealer sells you a bad part then they should replace it but i cant look at it and tell if it will work or not. It wasnt that much money i have taken the larger jets that came on it and installed in my oringinal carb and my scooter is running perfect now.

It could have been because that new carb you bought came with a larger jet. Its kinda like the racing carbs i sell. 99% of people need to change out the jet for a smaller one.

Is it a stock replacement carb or a larger performance carb? The stock replacement I bought from Scrappy for my 150 works great. He should be clearer about an as-is sale, but I wouldn't want to accept returns on parts that half the time have been tampered with or molested in some way. Plus there's always people who might try to return their old used carb... I'm not 100% happy with his parts and service, but his prices are hard to beat (unless you have time to wait for the slow boat) and he has so much stuff all in one place. I've probably made a dozen parts orders from him, and I'll be back for more.

I will be back for more parts too just wish they would accept a return on something that didn't work. It was supposed to be a performance carb

Did you do a big bore kit? I hear stock motors don't like to run with a bigger carb. I bet you could re-sell it to someone here who needs it.

Terrilee I can't tell what you said in your first paragraph. I want you to post and respect evryones advice but don't bash me cause I didn't buy from someone who gave me advice or someone you like to buy from. I planned on buying a exhaust from him in the future anyway which is way more cost wise than the $60 worth of parts I got that GReg didn't have.

If you bought a defective carb and wanted to replace it then Scrappy should send you a new carb. If you wanted a different part or a refund, they are well within their right to refuse. Scrappy imports the products himself from China and Taiwan. If a part is returned he has to eat the cost. If the part wasn't defective and it was installed, he cannot in good conscience resell the part. His return policy is pretty clear and I don't think he was being mean about it.
Wingnut2000 is a cool guy and I hope he does buy from me in the future. I certainly hope he does not feel obligated to buy from me but does because he likes the products I sell and at prices that are cheaper than Scrappys for the SAME part.
Greg

Thanks Greg and I do plan on doing business with you.
@bong I replaced the original carb because i took the auto enricher off and plugged the hole and my air mixture screw had some glue on it and i can never adjust it and it wasnt running right so I bought a new carb and went ahead and got a performance carb so I would have an auto enricher and hopefully more power. I also bought a new air box because my other one would not stay on the carb. I installed the new carb and couldnt get it to crank after i spent hours with it. So I decided to reinstall the original carb because it would at least run with it. I noticed the new carb had larger jets so i stuck them in the original carb and put it on with the new air box and it cranked and runs better than ever. I think my scooter wasnt running good because of the air box or maybe even because the jets were too small. IDK
But i probably still need a carb that i can adjust the mixture screw on and one with an auto enricher. Supposedly i didnt plug the auto enricher hole right but it runs good. Not sure if i will have problems in future because I plugged the auto enricher hole or not but for now it runs fine.

If it runs fine there is no need to touch it until it doesn't.

I agree with terrilee on her basic view on that- when someone goes out of their way to help you, you generally try your best to return that favor and kindness and don't slap them in the face. Though I don't care for making a scene about that sort of thing on a public forum as it sets a tone of hostility

As an aside, I rec'd by new carb from Greg via priority mail today in great shape, looks real nice, easy access to the mixture screw and the rest of it (no tamper proof screws) It was shipped right out, and he selected the one that I needed- I had ordered the type 4 which had extra things I don't need, refunded a small overage, and I might put it in today, or tomorrow.

Greg I did some buys from scrappy, got a 100cc 2 stroker....came to me damaged....and he did nothing at all, cost me $300.00 to fix the motor, and refused to take my calls. All i'm saying is.......even though scrappy has good prices........he's not nice about anything and don't expect him to be .........enuf said here!

I would RUN from a dealer who accepts parts back from a customer that have been INSTALLED and used! How would you feel if you just bought that brand new carb and paid good money for it, only to discover you got some other guy's weekend "test" carb that he installed, MESSED WITH, cleaned it up and shipped it back to the store who simply stuck it on the shelf till YOUR order came in, and then shipped it to YOU?
The part was new and works, if it wasn't the fix for your issue and you had replaced parts by guessing the likely defective one, then you have a spare carb, or you can resell it on ebay and get most of your money back.
I should tell you now that items damaged in SHIPPING are not the responsibility of the shipper! This is pretty standard across the board- once a store, dealer, seller, merchant hands that package to UPS, FedEx the post office it ceases to be their issue. If something is damaged in shipping, the correct thing to do is file a damage claim with the CARRIER, the seller's responsibility is solely to cooperate with the carrier's investigation or requests for info, invoices, proof of payment etc. They can VOLUNTEER to assist you in your claim, but all damage and loss is between you the receiver and the carrier and their insurance company.
The carrier's insurance co sends you a check. If they determine the packaging was substandard then you have a claim against the shipper for that. Shippers have no control over what happens at UPS any more than you do.
I can TELL you about a damage claim I had real quick, involving two antiques I had a UPSStore get for me from the auction house, pack and ship according to my specs; double box, lots of packing, insure for $1200.
Both arrived DESTROYED, the UPSstore did such a lousy job, and they did NOT double box, and didn't even insure them! UPS claims kept telling me to contact the shipper, and the shipper kept telling me to file with UPS- fine to let UPS take the $1200 hit for HIS lousy packing job I guess!
He first sent me a check for $225 and said he considered the $1200 claim paid!
In the end I wound up buying a domain name UPSStore(XXXX)sucks.com and putting the entire story and photos up on the web.
Then I contacted every one of that store's competitors in about a 25 mile or so radius, the UPS corporate offices, and every email address in the UPS offices I could find all got an email from me detailing the story and directing them to the web site, the store itself was included in the emailings.
The very next day after I did that I got an email form that store owner telling me to take down the web page, that he would overnight a check for the balance of the $1200 damage claim. I said, it comes down when the check CLEARS.
It did, and I took the site down.
In that case HE paid because it was his neglegence and not following my explicit written instructions, and because of that he had to pay the full cost of the items that cost me $900 and he bit the $300 charge he charged to get, pack and ship them because the packing was so bad it didn't even meet the minimum requirements by UPS.

There are more people than you might believe that buy something thinking it will solve their problem, then when it doesn't, they want their money back. Then they can buy another guess at their problem. Not saying this is what YOU are doing, if there was no return policy, these guys would be selling a bunch of USED parts that may have been compromised.

Mainely and scooterelements, you guys have some nicely set up online shops! Ill be trying out you guys when I get parts next time. Id much rather spend my money with a vendor in the states than ebay vendor from china etc. On a side note on the carb, try that at Oreilys or autozone, theyre gonna say nope as well unless you have a warranty and then they will exchange it. You cant resell something like that, what if you had bad gas, or opened it up and swapped out stuff or bent it up, or worse yet sabotaged it just to get your money back. I would also be aware that most of the time you cant just buy a performance carb and expect it to run on your set up unless you and the person who sold it to you discussed every aspect of your engine and every component incorporated with it, the weather both current and soon to be, and the altitude youre going to be riding at. Theres too many variables when it comes to carb tuning. Alas at least its running good now. I would try to resell the carb if I were you on here and maybe someone can get it to work for them. Maybe the right person will figure it out.

This is the chance you take when you buy replacement Chinese parts. As for replacing a carb you should of bought a name brand carb. I have bought Chinese parts that were defective but since the cost was so low you just eat it. This is what you get yourself into when buying a Chinese scooter.
