Have you ever needed to purchase something you had no idea existed ?

What the Sam Shit House is a carburetor!!? 209$!!??

Feel like I just bought a Mystery Box off the dark web 🥺

A carburetor mixes fuel and air before it hits the engine to give it the most effect in terms of 'power'.

Carbs are a bit rare these days as most modern vehicles are 'fuel-injected' directly into a more efficient engine.

Need in me say a carburator is an engine part that regulates the air fuel mixture of an engine.

200 feels like a good price. Was recently looking at one for around 900.

Should be noted I haven't read other comments so this may be repetitive

@Callmewhatyouwill Thank you S. I just Never knew such a small part cost so much. Had no idea what I was buying... But couldn't ride if if I didn't.

History now. Had an awesome zip home!! 😋
@Bratt it does make a big difference
Bratt · F
@Callmewhatyouwill Oh hell yeah!! I felt as if I was on a different bike. Like I had upgraded.

Credit evaluations from when I went to school in Canada. 350 bucks for them to say "Yup, this credit equals this many credit hours. Oh, and any time you need a copy, it'll be 150 dollars as well." 😬

@thepreposterouspanda Currently attending. But our Registry system here is a bit different and certainly not as expensive.

@Bratt I've been back a few times and I think I'm just not cut out for school. I love learning, but I despise being told what to learn. I'm still trying to figure out how to make it work for me. :)
Bratt · F
@thepreposterouspanda Interesting 🙂

Ah the moment you start buying pieces for your bike/scooter you're doomed, it's a bottomless pit in which you'll continue throwing money until either you'll sell or break the vehicle 😅
Bratt · F
@Elessar First break down in two years. It's been like a magic carpet so far..😭
Elessar · 26-30, M
@Bratt I thought you were changing that to gain extra speed 😅🙈

Wait, the original one broke? On its own? 😲

It’s one of those things without which a car won’t go vroom vroom

If I recall, on older vehicles, it has a lot to do with the combustion
Bratt · F
@th3r0n I'm well versed in vroom vroom. Just not all that other...stuff.

It is a magical device that helps you breath when your pistons are pumping....

Yes...that is a euphemism.

a carburetor for what exactly?
Bratt · F
@Niburu 74 Vespa Primavera
RoxClymer · 41-45, M
@Bratt there is the other expense '74', that age of any vehicle, parts aren't easy to find
Bratt · F
@RoxClymer Yeah...I sorta get it. Have been pondering a way out of my buyers remorse since this afternoon. 🙂
