Mossy Creek Cycle and ATV’s carburetor core deposit refund policy:

 Core returns are the responsibility of the customer.   Mossy Creek Cycle and ATV or www.qualitycycleparts.com will not pay shipping costs for core returns to the company. C.O.D. shipments will not be accepted.

Core returns not meeting these guidelines will be deemed ineligible for credit:

1.   Core credits will only be given for units returned in the manufacturer’s box or container in which the remanufactured product was delivered. All fluid must be drained from the core and core put in the plastic bag. We will not accept core returns in non-standard packaging.

2.   Core credits will only be issued for the exact number of units purchased. The core credit will not exceed the original core deposit.

3.   Cores must be returned within 30 days of the ship date of the remanufactured product to be eligible for core credit.

4.   Cores that are returned in weathered or rusted condition may not be eligible for credit.  Cores with broken, cracked or damaged housings ,or pistons are not eligible for full credit.  Cores returned for credit must be complete and fully assembled.  There will be no credit given on returns with missing or broken parts, bent mount brackets or disassembled units.

5.   Core credit will not be given if the returned core is not the same part as the remanufactured part purchased. Returned cores must be an identical match with the unit purchased.

6.    The customer understands that the core once received by Mossy Creek Cycle and ATV or www.qualitycycleparts.com the core becomes the property of Mossy Creek Cycle and ATV.

7.   The value of the core returned and amount credited will be determined by Mossy Creek Cycle and ATV.  The amount of credit given may range from $0 to the full amount you were charged for the core at the time of purchase.  Regardless of the amount of credit given the core will not be returned to you and will remain the property of Mossy Creek Cycle and ATV.

8.  Each core is gauged independently.  Your core will be deducted for any item that will have to replaced or repair, to resell the core, as a much better than average remanufactured part. 

Some Core Return Deductions:

The picture on the right is a carburetor vacuum diaphragm.  This diaphragm lifts the throttle slide along with the main jet fuel needle.  This part must work correctly for proper throttle response and jetting. This one has been pinched from an improper installation.  The diaphragm may also be dry crack or have pin holes.  The replacement diaphragms can cost as much as $100.  A damaged  diaphragm will most likely result in no core return. 

This is the enrichment valve retainer and cover.  The retainer nut must be in good condition.  Not stripped or rounded off hex area.  the cover must still be pliable and have no cracks.  Once removed the enrichment piston, spring and seal will be inspected.  Depending on carburetor the enrichment set may be sold only as a set and not individual parts.  Deduction of core deposit may vary greatly.

The fuel inlet on this carburetor is a plastic piece molded onto a brass compression fitting.  I have not found a permanent repair for cracked or broken pieces.  If  defective it will greatly decrease the value of a core.  They may sometime be repairable on the vent side depending on condition.

The carburetor must be fully assembled with all of its parts.  It must have all parts pieces and spacers.  I will deduct for any missing pieces from the core.

Carburetors have very precise mechanisms.  The factory linkages, accelerator arms, and adjusters can not be damaged or bent in any fashion.  The linkages will not correctly meter fuel if damaged.  Any damage will greatly affect core value.
