It's the same old, same old. A con man. Member of the in crowd. Running his mouth.

Notice one thing. I did NOT disrespect him. I merely defended my self. With a logical, factual argument. Having nothing to say, he continued his abuse.

Never, in all my 72 years, have I "looked for a fight." If one is looking for me, here I am

 

This kinda makes med wonder... how many accounts do you have on here, Jebby?

If you folks can't read that post and see through it, you deserve what you get!

 

All the OP, a forum member since 2003, wanted to do was give kudos to Jebbysan and it's well deserved. Several others wanted to add their comments and show Jebby our thanks for his contributions to the forum. If you noticed, ctm has been here since 2001 and Jebbysan since 2012, and I've been here long enough reading hundreds of posts to know that they are not the same person. Thanks again Jebbysan for helping us with our passion, it's greatly appreciated.
In before the lockdown.

 

Whatever. I smell a rat. Someone who tells me vacuum and manual operation of secondaries have nothing to do with an engine bogging has made all these contributions...

Whatever. Why should I care.

Bottom line: Don't (!) with me, and I won't read your pedigree

 

Mr. COLD WAR...GIVE IT UP! You are wrong and you know it. Stop trying to back peddle.

 

Wrong? Do I go 'round claiming to be Mr. carb guru, then demonstrate my complete lack of even the most basic understanding of how a carb works?

If you would like to believe I am wrong, fine by me. I have no need to be right and making you wrong has no value, to me. I'm a mature man. I have nothing left to prove and nobody left, to whom I need to prove it. So if you want to argue you'll have to find someone on your level...

 

I am NOT Jebby!

I am also a "Mature Man". I am here to learn and "try" to help my fellow Corvette owners fix their Corvettes themselves without spending a ton of money on parts or professional labor.

I do not come here to criticize others as I want to HELP them not berate them.

I Do however Appreciate what Jebby offers people!!
In my Humble opinion after several years of watching and reading his posts I wish I knew 1/4 as much as he does about carburetors and engines in general. He has helped more people than you might know. I appreciate and respect the "WAY" Jebby helps people, he doesn't BS anyone from what I have witnessed. Jebby provides clear, concise answers to complicated and difficult problems. I have "learned" from reading his posts and have witnessed him helping a lot of folks here on the Corvette Forum.

I see that you are a "newer" member, I welcome you to the Corvette Forum!

I personally have had over 50 years of Corvette ownership to draw my experiences from. I have built several dozen engines and worked on many different devices. I even have a few patents to my name.
The other members of this Forum have decades of experience and I just want to learn from them and help others.

Help "us" help each other on this site.

 

I DON'T GET IT! Dean, the OP of this thread created it to give Jebby kudos on fueling a carb and then out of nowhere, this new guy comes in here and starts blasting away at Jebby for some unknown reason and starts a pissin' contest. This guy IS abscessed with carbs or something and now has a personal vendetta against Jebby which IS nuts. What a crazy world this has turned out to be...ONLY in Merica. Thanks again for your input Jebby.

 

I felt the same way, like out of the blue this guy starts in on Jebby. I know Jebby's tough and thick skinned, but things like this is how we lose good members. I sure hope he doesn't challenge Lars to a carburetor pissin' contest!!!

 

Maybe you need a bath.

 

What has happened has not been my doing, or my will. I would erase it, if I could.

Still, as I read a post like this, my mind screams Jebby wrote it himself, via multiple accounts. It just doesn't sound right. Nor did the last one. People just don't talk that way...

"Sir, You are one of the most knowledgeable and helpful people on this Forum!" Does that sound... natural, to you? Not to me. Something like: "Thanks for all your help, Jebby" would.

To continue this is not in my best interest. I may benefit from information on this site. And, as I said, I do NOT dance on the strings, pulled by my ego. And I never wanted it, in the first place

Maybe Jebby forgot to wear his mask in his paint booth that evening... I'm sure there are lots of good folk in here and I'm eager to give them a chance, if they'll give me one?

 

I've been on this forum for just shy of 15 years. I have owned and worked on my Corvettes for well over 30 years. I am by profession a Harley Davidson Master mechanic. And as similar as Harley engines are to Chevy V8's. They are different.
Many times I have come on here to help others with things I do know, And many times I have asked questions about things I do not know or just want verification.
Jebby is one of those people that DOES know his stuff. And is kind enough to help others.
Nothing about the original statement rang untrue, or fake, or simulated.
To imply that someone would have multiple user accounts just to pat themselves on the back is just pure rubbish!
And to the "New" Members out there that might think so.
Pull your head out!

 

Wow this has sure turned into a weird thread. I have been on this forum for many years, been turning wrenches on personal C2/C3 Vettes for 33 years and 20 years prior to that working in the family garage. My dad says he handed me an impact when I was 6 and taught me how to remove a wheel (don't remember that). Point is I think I know a thing or two about these old cars and have forgot more than I currently remember.

After a long C3 break (was doing the C2 thing) I found myself back in the C3 game and back here in this section of the forum. I had a engine problem on my 73 I was working through and was seeking input and advice from this section and got input from Jebby, Stingr69, Recue Rogers, LT1 just to name a few. While I knew most of what I thought I knew it's nice to have input from other gearheads while the marble is rolling around in the brain working through an issue.

Never once did I feel I was getting bad or misleading information nor did I feel like I was being talked down to. Sure I don't agree with everything everyone has to say on a certain topic but that doesn't make the information wrong. Case in point, I'm a purest so I have a different opinion on modifying what GM already did but I would never say someone should not head down that road.

It's a hobby, enjoy the experience.

 

My god you are out there....Multiple accounts? Get a grip.......If I was that narcissistic, a Vette forum would be the last place I would be.
You are just pissed because I don't have time to type out an hour long read on carb theory.....and I ghosted your PM. You come here and I try to answer your questions but at a point you just hear what you want to hear. I tell you that a mechanical secondaries vs. vacuum have nothing to do with a bog and you take it personally......contact ten professional engine builders, pick your choice.....and they will tell you the exact same thing I did. I am not here to toot a horn. I am here to help because after 30 years, I have amassed a wealth of knowledge that would be criminal not to share and it just so happens that I own a Vette too. This is the only forum I am active on and I am here daily typing from my office as a welcome distraction to my job.......nothing more, nothing less.
I am not here to derate anyone or anything they have.......I know what I know and the proof is in the pudding.
You have become exactly what I was explaining in my long thread above......not only are you 100% wrong, you refuse to listen and consider what you read. You also come on this "thank you" thread (which BTW is the only one ever posted after almost ten years) and bash the **** out of me.....do you do that to all of your first dates? You are an inconsiderate jerk and the exact person I cringe to meet in person.....I have escorted folks like you out of my shop and asked them to not come back.

Now I can explain exactly why mechanical vs.vacuum makes no difference....and I am willing to do that now to prove a point, but if you read it and do not agree with it, I will ask that you leave this forum for your own benefit. I will open a new thread and explain in detail, how its make no difference and what to do to troubleshoot it. Come on.....test me.....all you have to do is say yes. Now why would I stick my neck out there if I wasn't certain of myself hmmm? In fact, ask me any question pertaining to an internal combustion engine.....anything with a piston.....test me.

Since I know nothing about carbs....maybe you would like to see my Honda with six carbs on it? I am sure that every ******* knows how to do those......maybe my Multiple screen name alter ego did them?
I bet you belong to like ten Facebook pages and argue with ******** on there too don't you?
You poked the bear......and you picked the wrong bear. You sir, are out of line....and you probably already scorched your rep on this forum....you think I am tough, try some of the other members with your horseshit.

I usually never engage with people like you but I am just pissed now. Why you chose to have a hard on for me is anyones guess.....

Jebby

 

I just opened this thread and I can't believe what I'm reading here. Some fool joins the Forum a month ago and has the audacity to criticize the contributions here of probably THE MOST helpful and knowledgeable guy on this Forum. This is from a fool who can't even spell Edelbrock correctly (see post 10 - Elderbrock).
I'm sure this thread will be closed soon and the ignorant noob will probably be disciplined. Maybe he will end his short and unpleasant stay here on Corvette Forum. Good riddance - Kid.

 

Don't worry about my head. It's not the one that's causing your problems, nor is it something you can, or ever will change.

Only a fool borrows trouble. Only an ******* keeps the **** going, when it was about to end. Would that be you? From your choices, and actions, one might so surmise. When your motivations are considered, your cover is blown.

And no, it's not pure rubbish. There are some SICK PUPPIES in this world. If read dispassionately (without prejudice) a couple of the posts have been so sucky as to cause me to think someone was paid, to write them! And, as I said, people quite simply don't talk like that. And haven't, for centuries. Even then, they were kissing the asses of Kings...

News Flash: There are a few intelligent people around; people that can see through bullshit like this like a dirty pain, of window glass.

Multiple accounts are easy to get. Just have a friend who changes his ISP. He gives you his password, etc. then maybe creates another account with his new IP number. Or maybe not. Anyway, you end up controlling 2 accounts You can sign in using Tor, a wingate or behind a VPN.

When forums are started their owners commonly create 100 or more shills. A shill is a guy that looks like a poker player but actually works for the casino. That way when the first potential users show up they find something that seems like it might be worth their time to join. People with multiple accounts are quite likely on this, or any other forum. Are you really so (I'll be nice, THIS TIME) naive as not to be able to see this? Or are you Jebby, as well?

When looking for people that need to pull their heads out, maybe all you need is a mirror? Could BEEEEE .)

 

You are too kind, Jebby .)

 

I'm another one of the "SHILL's" Just go away! Please.

 

Am I bothering you? Why?

I should imagine this would be quite amusing...

Any more shills whose ego can not let this drop? Careful, Jebby. You're revealing all your accounts...

Why have you chosen to self-destruct, before my eyes, Jebby? The technical expertise possessed by someone who actually said: "Any carb can be tuned to operate without bog. Has nothing to do with vacuum or mechanical secondaries….." is not in question. Then this? This turbo-obvious charade? Do the words: S I C K P U P P Y have any meaning, to you?

Wow. But my question is, why me? Were you just due to implode... or WHAT?

OK. What can I do, to end this?

Oh, Jebby. You are GOD'S GIFT, to the corvette! And we mere humans who come here to worship owe our lives, nay, our eternal existences, to Your greatness! Thank You, Your excellency. I would be lost, without You! As would we all. As would we all...

Now, GET OFF MY (!)ing CASE!

 

Speaking of "multiple accounts" - Could this be the unfortunate rebirth of Too Broke To Retire?
