Welcome. Purpose here wasn’t to hurt anybody’s feelings. Pointing them out and putting the information out there for everyone. They seem the work alright. My general experience with Chinese knockoffs is that tolerances are so broad that you never know what you’re getting. For instance, I can buy 20 gx120 Honda knockoff engines, but only 1 of them will have a crank that doesn’t rattle the engine apart or destroy the engine prematurely.
That’s a fair assessment. I had mistakenly trusted Cardone’s claims like many others apparently. Unfortunate that they would false advertise by providing knockoffs at their discretion and stock availability. That could of course be leveraged to allow the core model to be always a knockoff and periodically throw in a few real remans if it avoids litigation.
It certainly doesn’t sit well with me since I’ve painstakingly been attentive to many details throughout this build. Once it is running, I may replace them.
