Exclamation ?WHY? (junkyard b*tch)

Doggone it ~ I've scavenged at least used 50 injectors and maybe two were any good , no one wants the cores so cheap or even free they're not worth the bother .

My big brother OTOH, had me gather up a whole bunch and 15 tested *perfectly* and 7 bad.....

HE didn't buy the damned pop te$ter, oh no.... .

I'm just griping here , move along, nothing to see .

No problem. It's good to vent, especially when you can vent to people who have had the same frustration.

It is like going to one of the big box stores and seeing some guy sorting through lumber trying to find a board which at least has some semblance of being "straight". "Oh man", you think, "Poor bastid, I I feel your pain".

Thumbs up

Thanx .

I understand the lumber thing only to well and I don't do carpentry .

I remember getting twisted, still green "cut & finished" lumber from the loacal place when I had a rental 40 years ago, it's maddening .

In truth I get far more good and great deals from the yard that allow me to choose and remove the parts .

I'd be interested in a set of injector cores. Let me know how much you would sell a set of 5 for, shipped to 32825.
