Offered on e-bay:



AC Petite Water Pump Flexible Performance Gasket


This must be some of the most inept spamming ever. No links, incorrect subject line and lousy product description.

Tim

The subject line is correct, and relevant to the advertised item:

formatting link
I was trying to be brief, obviously too brief.

So, you're plugging some sort of liquid gasket product with the subject line " It had an air-cooled Villiers engine..."?

In what universe is that a "correct" subject line and how is it relevant?

Tim

Don't lose any sleep over this. It is a generic product from far east. Perhaps ok, perhaps s*it. Better home grown s*it available at lesser cost. I'm interested to know why seller has specified AC Petite. A very limited market. Nick.

Er, no, what makes you think that?

I won't, believe me!

That was what I gathered from looking at the page.

Definitely, and as I pointed out in the OP, totally useless on an air-cooled engine.

Well you're posting a gratuitous advert for a product (ie, no one has requested info about it) and your subject line is as I stated. Look at it.

Tim

Most first messages in a thread have no precedents, so what? I was commenting on the irrelevance of an advert. to its subject matter, due to its basic error of fact. Live with it.

They just have a big list of every known engine in the whole world and have seeded the search engines so they get a hit.

Common on Ebay. When looking at parts for my SD1. Bit of a pain, actually.
