China isn't the flavor of the month Im well aware, but while searching for some carby parts for a chainsaw I came across this company. Seem to make carbies for just about everything and the price is right. May have been posted on here before, but might interest someone struggling to find a part.

Yeah, it would be a pretty good deal otherwise!
Just have to hope materials used are adequate & also their machining tolerances are acceptable.

Gotta agree... quality will be typical chit. + I'm now actively reducing any spend on Chinese products - fuck em, I do not mind paying more for quality.

You went to the wrong site. It is targeted for business wholesale.
Go to https://www.aliexpress.com/ and search "harley carburetor" again.

They even make E mountain bike clones with a Bosch E motor no brand name but its copy of a Bosch. if no one buys them importer will stop bringing them out. the E bike I mentioned was Made in China for the NZ local market not for Australia, but it's here.

Krash, It's a bit like all the imported food, surely if we stopped buying it would help our local suppliers .
I would like to see all Asian imports killed off .
Remember we once had an electronics manufacturing industry in Australia .
Maybe the Corona virus will have some positive affect in the end ?

would be a good idea, but , need to tell places like Bunnings , so on. I think a lot of people go into Bunnings get what they need , but don't check country of manufacture.

Good advice gg. Unfortunately it's not until very much later in life we actually learn to abide by this.
I've wasted a lot of money & time early on buying cheap vehicles/accessories, machines, tools, electronic goods, clothes etc etc.

In 2007 I was tasked with "quality controlling" static 50cc petrol motors that were to be sent to the WA wheatbelt to run pumps and the like.
Now these were incredibly cheap to buy , for a bulk lot we had paid $99 Australia per unit.
( How can you manufacture/ship/wholesale and retail something like that for $99 AUD ????)
I thought they "looked" like a Honda 50 engine from scooters and mopeds of my youth in the 70's.
One of them would not start , they arrive 100% dry of petrol.
So I mess around with this one motor and I have several running at the one time on the floor of the yard.
Some are idling smoothly , good for a pump , and some are bouncing around the yard , out of balance somehow.
The non starter I eventually strip the carbie to find NO FLOAT ! WTF ?
So off I scoot to a Honda small engine shop that sold farm equipment strimmers etc etc and sure enough this is a 100% copy of a Honda motor.
He has a new float system in his parts drawers , I fit it to the "clone" motor and off she goes like a new 'un !
Quality control in China MY ARSE...
Of more recent times I saw a road registered 1960's Honda Monkey bike , one of a group of "enthusiasts" who ride them up and down Perth's coast.
Restored and funky some of them are. I have a real close look at one of them , and it has a Chinese motor in it. Exact same fitted right in.

The Chinese are capable of building things to any level of quality you want. THe hard bit is making sure that you don't get ripped off, which only works if you have a good relationship with the Chinese side, or you deal with someone who does.
I've got a couple of Chinese made machine tools (lathe, milling machine) that I bought from a local supplier. This local supplier has dealt with his manufacturer in China for years, and they are pretty responsive when it comes to making changes to the product to improve functionality and quality. It's taken him a long time though.
On the flip side, a few years ago my wife found out about a Chinese company that sold affordable electric guitars. She thought that any quality issues could be overcome by some local fettling before selling them (She had built and repaired guitars and had all the right gear). We got some samples from this company that were pretty good and only need some fine tuning, adjustment of frets, neck tension etc to make them good guitars for students or someone who needed a guitar they could throw in a bag and take camping. Most of those sold fairly quickly and with a reasonable margin.

She started advertising, ordered a full crate of various styles and got ready to sell.

When the guitars arrived they were almost without exception so badly made there was absolutely nothing that could be done to make them playable. My wife decided her conscience would not let her sell them and sent them back, but never got back most of the money she paid for them. Lesson learned. It was only the fact that we started cautiously and relatively small that limited the losses to something we could accommodate.

I still actually have two of the good original samples if anyone's interested(Fender strat style). They do need some setting up but should play ok. PM me and they're yours for the cost of postage.

Alas no. Both rights. You could probably string them upside down if you wanted.
