Well i must add ,i had similar issues with BG carb and a NEW BG regulator that failed after 15 mins use. From 460ford.com i made my issues known and TECH@BG offered to rectify my issues. Unfortunately i sold the carb off for next to nothing but still had the regulator
I got the same thing about slanderous statments against BG etc,so i told him to rectify my opinion of BG he could sort out the reg for me . Not a big deal but still good $$$ i had spent on a part that didn't work. On his offer i sent it direct to him in the U.S, it came back to me reconditioned and flow certificates etc all for "NO CHARGE" The TECH@BG guy is genuine as i found out. He openly aknowledged that BG had issues in the past and it is his job now trying to rectify the company. A lot of guys seem to have good luck with BG stuff , i didn't :( but anyway give him a go ... Can't blame him for trying which in that post he is .. |

I reckon the members over there are being a bit unfair, actually - The tech dude has admitted quality control issues and is busting his butt to assist, and all they're doing is continuing to abuse him.

I think the thread starter should learn to relax as well as a few others, yes it would be frustrating to have that problem but jeez all types of new products will have some bad sheep mixed in here and there that's how it is. He raves on like BG broke into his house and knocked off his TV and DVD player. If BG wasnt interested in helping ok go crazy on the forum, how about trying to get the issue sorted before running the mouth?

I wont touch a Barry Grant in all honesty, i have seen hassles first hand, they can work but I will go for something a little bit more tried and trusted...

Said pointless posts also lead to thread closure.
