I have recently purchased a 2006 sportsman 90. I removed the carb and ordered a carb rebuild kit due to external leakage and running issues. I started disassembling carb and noted differences in the kit, the float needle seat is a different dimension, I guess it's a aftermarket carb. Anyway, does anyone know of a good quality carb to put on it or should a guy just go with oem?

 

With an oem Mikuni carb costing over $400 it didn't take long for the market to be flooded with cheap after market Chinese carbs.Dozens of them on ebay and Amazon.Cheaper to replace it and take a chance on it working right. I'd still take a new one apart to make sure all openings are clean as many have found dirt and trash in these.New Carburetor Carb For POLARIS SPORTSMAN 90 ATV 01 02 2003-2006 Manual Choke | eBay

 

I've had good luck with the aftermarket cheap carbs.

 

Thanks for the input! I'll try a cheap carb and check it out. The price is right!

 

Just put one on my lawn tractor, works great!
