Call me the conspiracy theorist, but that picture with a "fake walbro" and the hand.... that hand doesnt look asian.
Perhaps the whole fake walbro story is just a sham to draw more business to their site??

Interesting nonetheless.

Who cares if its fake or not, if it works as good as the original no reason to pay the extra money to have some name brand.

LOGIC? You seriously want to invoke logic in a conversation about fake hijackings, missiles hitting the pentagon, and bombs planted throughout the world trade center? I thought it was a given that logic was checked at the door when entering one of these threads.
