I try my best not to be the type of guy that runs my mouth on various topics on boards just to give someone a bad name. And until today I have done quite well, but unfortunatly today I made the mistake Of calling Denny's for the first, (and last) time. I was trying to locate a carburator for the farm stock motor I am working on and if they had the ability to make one suit my application. The lady I got on the phone just said To send them the carb and they would do it. I tried several times to ask what kind of airflow they could get out of my carb to make sure I was not going to get a carb back that was still going to be to small. The lady refused to answer any queastions and informed me that no form of flow testing is needed on updraft carbs therfore they do not test the carbs they sell. I then told her that I didn't seem to be getting anywhere and that I would have to take my business elsewhere. She then screamed "GOOD" in the phone and hung up.

I have two queastions now.
1. Was I out of line to inquire about CFM numbers?

2. How are they still in business?

I'm done complaining now.

Hello pullers and wantabes, I watch here quite a bit 'cause you guys are entertaining but never posted before. Denny happens to be local to me, his wife is a capitol W W##ch, aint no doubt about it and she is half the problem with people not likeing Denny. Denny can build a carb, he can also screw up like all the rest of us. He does have some troubles dealing with that. You all make up you own minds about Denny, he is what he is. I am here to say my peace about people who call a place of business just to BS or to pick the owners brain for some free information and come on here and complain cause they cant get free information or the owner wont shoot the chit with them for hours. When the tools drop the income stops, unlike your hourly job where they pay you to sit on your rear then pay you again tomorrow to (hopefully) get the job at hand completed. As for passing out trade secretes, if you cant figure out why this is not a wise thing for him to do then nothing I can say will soak in either. Thats all I got to say folks and you wisenhimers take note that at the beginning I made no excuses for Denny's wife or his own attitude problems. I run my own smal business And I understand what he goes through with people and there freebie wants.

You see though sir, not all the pullers on here are clueless on carbs and such. Most of them know what they want out of their carb, its just some dont have the equipment on hand to work them over, vertical mill, flowbench, etc etc... But,,, when pullers like these want a carb or whatever else done, they want to talk real numbers, not here the guy say "yeah yeah, I'll give you a good carb, goodbye!" It's the puller that knows what he wants thats going to be in first place. I know when I buy parts that I can't make in our own shop, I want the guy on the other end of the phone to tell me exactly what I am getting, performance numbers and all, If he cant give me that, then I'll go to a good shop that can. You see, it's not about getting "top secret" info, or wanting to BS with the owner for an hour, its about wanting to get the most for your dollar, and get what you want!! Do you kind of understand what I'm saying here sir?????

Although I do not deserve it, thankyou for calling me sir. I do wonder why you spent the time to type a responce that was 2/3 stating again that Denny nor his wife have a personality when I stated, twice, that I already know that and 1/3 making out like I said he should give information to no one when I said nothing of the sort. I pointed the finger at no certain person with the post and I wonder why you took my statments so personaly? I guess since I choose to voice my opinion under your post that you took it I was talking to you? As for dealing with Denny, in my opinion you make a wise choice in going elsewhere. Did I say the man should not give out information about his work? If you go back a read post #1 I said that people who call him simply to pick his brain and get POed because he wont give out information on how to make there own carb mods or becuse he wont chat on the phome forever need to be on the other end tring to make a living. Nuff said, Im going back to watch'en ya'll.

I do, and I agree. There's a difference between "milking" someone for info and asking honest questions about what you're potentially purchasing in goods and/or services. I doubt there's anyone on this board who hasn't quizzed and "expert" from time to time. I occasionally get asked questions that temporarily take me away from my work, but my theory is that if I honestly and politely try to help someone out, I've just dramatically improved the odds of them doing business with me or my employer. If you're in a business, you'd better be prepared to answer questions about your goods and services, as there aren't many guys that are just going to throw everything into your hands and write a check when you're done. As happened in this case, not even attempting to provide the info is clearly going to drive a potential customer away. When someone has a question about how to repair something on their tractor, nine times out of ten they plan on bringing it to us anyway, and are just looking for reassurance that it will be done correctly. I've yet to hear or read ANYTHING good about Denny's but I haven't done business with them, and don't intend to be another test case just to see if they're really as bad as I've heard.

with you 100% on that one!
i have called columbus and midwest injection and did a little 20 questions myself and i have yet to have any of the people i buy pulling parts from clam up or tell me to buy it and i will see what it looks like.
also i have bought parts from both listed,but by no way did i let them know if i would buy or not.
if they don't have time to pick-up the phone and answer a few questions i sure don't want anything they are selling as it will probably be a rush job.

Hold on, I'm writing this down...Redman and I agreed on June 4, 2004 and...LOL! But seriously, there is no way you can be close-mouthed about what you're offering and expect it to pay dividends. I had Robert's grind my "G" camshaft, and Robert himself spent a good fifteen to twenty minutes answering my questions and detailing what they would do. Of course, there was no way that I was going to be able to take what info he gave me and do it myself, but the fact that he was willing to take the time sold me, and he ended up making a decent little chunk of change for that fifteen minutes. And hey, drop me an email sometime. My buddy's pulling sled will be at a bunch of the Nebraska Bush Pullers pulls this summer, and I went to the first one last weekend to help him out. There were some good running Binders there. I talked to one guy that pulls and works on Binders on the side, in addition to doing some pulling engine and tractor building. I'd like to b.s. with you and see how your tractor compares to what they pull down here.

Glad to see that I am not the only one that has had a run in with Mrs. Denny . I got about the same response with a good cussing to go with it. I would suggest calling Treadwell Carb repair in New York. They were very helpful and super nice. There prices were reasonable as well. Check HooK magazine for their Ph #. H.H.

I will never do business with them either. Called them once and they were not very interested in helping out to answer a few questions about what I was looking for. Ended up going to Treadwell carburetor and they seemed more than happy to help out.

At least now I know it's not me. I just don't understand how someone can expect to run a profitable business and pull this kind of B.S. If they would have given me information that I was asking for and if it worked with my calculations they would have had my business. I am going to try this Treadwell's place. I was also told Motec is also great.

Thanks.

Matt Gall (Motec Engineering) is an extremely nice fella to deal with. Oh, and a M-M guy! Everyone I have talked to has been pleased with his work. I have used him on an information basis and found him to be a nice guy to chat with. He would not hang up on you. Sometimes he gets a little backed up with his work. I don't know much about Denny's except I enjoy looking at all the puller parts they sell.

Matt at Motec will do a good job on your carb. Tell him all your information and send him your carb. He test them and will have it adjusted pretty close. Must be busy took about 4 weeks to get 2 carbs done. Dave S
