im trying to get a new carb for a redcat 150.all i see are ones with electric choke.do i just unbolt the electric choke and put the cable into it?or is there a certain carb just for cable choke?

 

Anybody? Im trying to order a carb asap

 

Have you called redcat directly and asked if they offer a cable choked carb?

Redcat 110 Atv Pz-19 Choke-cable Style Carburetor - Ca279-16 - Redcat Parts - Chinese Atv Parts - In

 

i called them a few times and they were no help at all.pretty much what they told me is match it up with one in a picture.they have no info on products.i was just thinking of getting their most popular one with electric choke and just taking that off and bolt up my cable.i have bought parts from them 3 different times and i get the same answer from them every time.lol. i know theres something wrong with the carb cause as soon as i pour gas in the tank it dumps right out of the carb

 

The problem is that there is a big air sucking hole in your carburetor when you unbolt the choke (actually it is more properly called a bystarter valve), and there is no place to bolt your cable to.

The bystarter valve adds an extra fuel passage to enrichen the air/fuel mixture when the engine is cold. When warm a wax plug in the bystarter valve expands and pushes closed a valve which seals off the extra fuel passage - returning the air/fuel ratio to normal.

A cable driven choke system does the opposite. When the engine is cold a baffle plate in the air stream is closed - starving the engine of air. This too enrichens the air/fuel mixture because you have less air for the same fuel. The 'electric choke' models don't even have the baffle plate that your choke cable is supposed to open/close.

The two carburetors aren't cross adaptable. If you buy an 'electric choke' carburetor you will have to wire it up and use in the 'electric choke' mode.

 

Have you looked at other ordinary 150cc chinese manual choke carburetors? I don't anything specific about redcat quads, but I would hazard a guess that they are just the same old generic 150cc manual choke carburetor. I would do a google search for "chinese atv 150cc manual choke" and look for any carburetor picture that matches yours.

 

have you tried to contact the sponsors of the forums about the chinese quad carbs? they may be able to help you out. worth a try anyways. just PM them and see what they can do for you.

 

i should have done this from the beginning but i pulled the carb off today.its model pd24j which is redcats most popular carb according to their website.but it seems like it only comes as electric choke.how is mine cable choke?

 

if you fixed this let me kno i had the same problem. thanks!
