That's just it with Python.  One good one, one bad (or more).  QC sucks.

I beg to differ.  I have a rebuilt Python 1.9 AFM on my 84 Westy that I
installed in September 2000.  Nary a problem or blip with it.  Then again
what they did 10 years ago may be different than what they may be doing
today and not as good.  I liked it so much I bought an extra to stuff under
the bed/seat box, still there in the box, waiting for it to be used on the
Westy or the 84 GL.  And I have an NOS 1.9 AFM (expensive) stashed elsewhere
too.

Definitely stay away from anything rebuilt by Python.  I swear those guys do
nothing more than clean, sandblast and put a sticker on their AFMs.
