Are you sure that those are the exact size? Can you confirm them fitting a toro nero

The toro nero uses the same size screws as all the others from novarossi

That's a great way to bypass dealers I guess

0 profit margin there unless you happen to be the importer

You wil l need to install the 17011 front bearing within a gallon guaranteed

This is why it is so hard to be a dealer for anything in this industry. The importers and/or suppliers of products sell online for at or below dealer cost making it impossible for dealers to flourish. Everyone is always looking for the best deal which is fine because that is what I would do myself so you can't fault people for that especially in today's economy. What these better online prices don't come with is friendly hands on customer service and tech talk when you need it so sometimes paying a few extra bucks for something will be worth it in the long run. I guess us dealers could always start charging per minute to talk with us when people have issues. I wonder how that would go over? $2.99 connection fee and $1 per minute after that? I always had to pay someone to talk to if I had issues with something if I didn't buy from them so why can't we? It will probably never happen but just saying it because people forget who they turn to when they need help but easily forget they didn't help us out in any way shape or form when they bought from Hong Kong or any other cheaper online store. I have had many of 2+ hour conversations with people who have never put a dime in my pocket but did it out of the kindness of my heart and have I gotten anything out it? Not much other than a more expensive phone bill the next month that I paid for out of my own pocket. Just saying.......

That is not us on eBay. We do have dealers in the South Florida area and one of them is obviously selling online. We can't dictate at what price they sell things but I will ask them to raise their advertised price.

I have a 2001bf that my son runs. Currently it has the stock carb on it, non replaceable venturi, aluminum body with a composite sleeve on the motor side. The other carb I have is a black composite carb (novarossi and a big R on it) has the replaceable venturi and has aluminum where it goes into the motor. Witch carb would be better? the motor has been modded also. Both carbs are 8mm. thanks

absolutely agree Mark , great points

i wasnt necessarily implying that you were the one doing this Joaquin but this kinda stuff kinda makes it very hard for us to be dealers for the product if it is sold to customers at the same price we are purchasing the product for , dont you agree?

i am happy with my situation right now and would love to continue with my program as it is


i will be offering all novarossi products as well as Fusion X line
