Anyone ever try out one of these cheap replacement carbs they sell on ebay? I'm needing a replacement for my honda 200s and thought i'd give it a try. If it gives me trouble I guess I'm not out that much any thoughts are greatly appreciated!

 

Worked for people I know. 1 came with loose jets so just check everything and it should be fine.

 

Thanks for the reply I ordered one last night and I figured i'd have to check it over before putting it on. The original carb body is kinda screwed but and I may or may not be able to salvage it :/ The hole where the pilot screw threads up into has the threads pretty messed up because the previous owner had a regular screw in there it ran great so I never messed with it and went to clean it this weekend and it's a miracle the thing ran at all with that darn screw in there!

 

Your welcome. All the screw is doing is raising the throttle valve a lil. You could probably put some teflon on the screw so it will grab and put it back in till the new carb. gets there.

 

Yeah I could but I think the old suzuki needs to be aired out anyway

 

Just an update on the carb I ordered

It works great I took the bowl off to make sure that the jets were screwed in tight which they were, and everything else seemed fine except for the fact that I had to adjust the float level but otherwise I think it was well worth the $28 I spent on it! I'm still trying to locate a tap to clean up the threads on the original carb so I can hopefully keep it around as a spare just in case.

 

Good to hear. Or in this case read.

 

i've used the chinese copy carb before too. They work great.

 

I have used 7 of them with no problems seem to be what the doctor ordered

 

At first I thought the price was too good to be true and figured if I went by the saying "you get what you pay for" it would be junk. The carb hasn't failed me yet but the motor has lol. It locked up about a month ago and I'm pretty sure it just needs a top end rebuild. I'm not exactly sure why because the thing has never smoked, never used any oil, and all oil changes have been consistently done...oh well I'll get to it when I have the time. The quadsport needs a few minor things before I tear into the honda.
