I see a lot of words used today in different ways then I am used to. E.g. "rebuild", "new", etc. all seem to be stretched.
How about "genuine?"
I thought I did my homework in buying a new Weber carburetor. I read many warnings about the market being flooded with Chinese clones and how to ID the fakes, etc. I finally bought this one. Just opened the box and it is a Chinese clone. One caveat though. The seller seems to have paid for permission to use the Weber logo. So, does that make it now "genuine?" Not in my book, but perhaps I am getting old.
It may be fine and just as good as one I regard as genuine and made in Europe. Time will tell. It certainly is not exactly the same.
