I have worked several check fraud/scams over the years. Here's my thoughts. If you are willing to accept a check as a form of payment, thats great, but do not let the goods leave your sight until the check clears. Most banks are now 10 to 14 days to completely clear. You can call his bank to verify funds however, 14 days hold until its cleared. I don't know of anyone who would not appreciate that. Some things to look at. Is it drawn on a local bank to the buyer? Is it completely typed out with a signature stamp? If there is ink from a pen on the check, is it black? I would say 80% of the fraud cases I have worked, the ink on the check was blue. Its become easy to duplicate bank items with the latest in color laser printers. Use common sense, if it sounds too good to be true, it probably is. Thats why you wait for clearance on checks. Another thing to do, document the license plate and a description of the vehicle picking up the item. If for any reason you have issues later, that plate number is golden. It proves the vehicle was at your location and the registered owner info can be pulled from the BMV file. We can now pull the photo of the registered owner on our data terminals. Not all states, but ours does. Once your item leaves your view, its not easy to retrieve. Many states will call it a civil issue since you released the item prior to completed payment, even though its fraudulant. Criminal charges can be filed, but then you have to prove the value of the item and deal with victim assistance. Not fun and usually you get hosed.

After numerous dead ends for a replacement carb, I went to work fixing mine.I soldered new floats on the float arm, they came from an old motorcycle carb, replaced the packing on the throttle shaft with o-rings, cut new ga
