From what I hear the BG carbs often have "issues" and their customer service is not always up to par. If you look Summit doesn't carry them anymore.
I personally have one that worked GREAT out of the box. Others have found metal shavings in them etc. I recently bought a remanufactured 850 from Jegs as a core for some major carb mods.Not sure if reman from BG or another source. Often manufacturers take parts that don't pass initial quality checks and reman them themselves. I expected a carb that had some issues that were corrected in the remanufacturing process. Just a quick check showed air bleeds one that was drilled off center and were different sizes. Took 2 minutes with some drill bits to see they were incorrect. No visible shavings anywhere.
My current new Holley 850 had no shavings in the bowls but did have them embedded in the gaskets. When I got my Q jet back from The Carb Shop from mods years ago it came with metal shavings in it.
So quality checks from alot of places have fallen off in recent years. I've had big issues with stuff from Comp Cams also. wrong SINGLE springs in the correct marked box for a set of roller cam springs, cam journal too big to fit in bearings. Most recent my Crower rocker shaft system for Pontiac Edelbrock heads was WAY off. I had to send it back and juggle offset rockers to get it right(I ate the shipping). I have heard BG is trying to improve in this area. You just have to double check everything for a good build.

Summit doesn't carry BG's anymore because Barry pulled the line from Summit. Summit was selling the carbs for less than the licensed BG dealers and wouldn't listen to reason about pricing. Barry's dealers were bitchin' up a storm.

Dan,
Glad to hear they got you fixed up. What dealer did it go through? Just want to try and get the carburetor back to determine what was causing the problem.
