I just created a thread for off topic carburetion posts. In the future they can be made there rather than this thread.
Thank you in advance for keeping DMCTalk neat & tidy.

No, it's not any sort of war or vendetta with Bill. It's about correcting ignorance and misinformation. Again with your little out of context quotes to twist the conversation.
I don't care about Bill, and as you failed to notice, I don't run the guy down on everything he says. He's smart, and he's got some knowledge on him. But he's also quite manipulative as well (he's now got you as a puppet fighting his battles just like all the other users he got banned), and just loves to not only start arguments, but win them at any cost. The reference to what has been going on for years isn't about Bill and myself having some sort of argument. It's about years and years of problems that Bill has had interacting with other people and the continuing pattern of abuse he has engaged in. Start doing searches on his username sans the "_2" addendum to disconnect himself from his already banned account here on DMCTalk.
You'll find evidence of years of feuds and trolling across not only Talk, but Today, and the DML itself where Bill has started fights with everyone he possibly could and worn out his welcome everywhere he's gone.
But again, although Bill is a serial shit-starter, it's not about him. It's about the lies he continues to spread in order to simply win arguments at any cost. And the cost is the damage to the marque.
If you have EVER had someone in a conversation tell you misinformation about your car and didn't like it, then you know what I'm talking about. I don't have a problem with carburetors, nor Bill selling kits. But what I do have a problem with are his incessant lies he makes up to try and bolster his flawed and failed arguments. Such as when it comes to trying to state that fuel injection is more of a fire hazard as a way to boost his sales through pitching a false sense of security to his buyers. So now do you want people to start researching our cars and wrongly think that they have some sort of a problem with catching on fire simply because one little man in North Carolina needed to spread a false rumor for his side business? Because by not saying something you're allowing that to happen.
If you want to boost respect for our cars, then you need to stop the misconceptions from spreading or even starting in the first place.
If you have a carburetor, that's perfectly fine. Even if it's one of Bill's. Please realize that doesn't reflect upon you, and that no one is fighting or looking down on you. If there is any sort of fight it is to keep you in the know by keeping you educated. But whenever bad information starts to get spread around, the person stating the falsehoods cannot possibly think that they're somehow immune to criticism. As such bad information will be challenged each time, and ignoring it and/or refusing to acknowledge the incorrectness doesn't validate it.
Same with selling these carbs. Bill has chosen to act as a vender, so it is perfectly acceptable for others to post their experiences with said vender, be them positive or negative. And don't tell me that we're supposed to somehow keep quiet about Bill's carburetor kits when I have seen product threads where people have just shit allover DMCH and John Hervey. They've gotten far worse than what Bill has, and yet I don't hear you or others sticking up for them like you're trying to do for Bill right now.

It is not off-topic at all, Bill. A question was asked, and I answered. The topic of which was indeed tied directly to this thread.
If the moderators see it differently, then it is up to their discretion to split threads as needed. Otherwise no one is stopping you from continuing on with the thread. Feel free to continue.

Received a PM from James. He got the UPS box OK and everything "looks nice" (since he didn't mention any damage I assume all pieces survived the trip intact).
