$17 Amazon China VS. Original Carburetor, Will It WORK? Honda CRF50

[@leprechaun3677]

So lesson here is: Chinese ones can work if you make them work. But you’ll (hopefully) have better manufacture quality/ consistency with an OEM.

[@SparkyMoto]

Yes, exactly!

[@cayminlast]

It depends on what you want. In my experience, they do the job they are intended for. For anyone with limited or no mechanical eperience, get the OEM part.

I bought one of those Ebay carbs for my EZGo golf cart. Surprisingly it worked great with no adjusting. So far no problems in over 5 years of use. Saved many bucks over OEM part.

[@Nathan-lt6bw]

Same

[@bAc0nBoY755]

I can vouch for the B-12 chemtool, really good stuff. Used it as a fuel additive in my brothers intruder that had a stuck float. The carbs were just replaced and very difficult to get to, so taking them out to clean them wasn't an option. Tapping the bowl didn't work, seafoam didn't work, generic walmart carb cleaner in the air intake didn't work. Added the amount of chemtool recommended on the bottle (or just above, can't remember) to the tank with new fuel, let it run a bit, let it sit for awhile, and next start float was free and fuel was no longer pouring out. Added a heftier fuel filter from J&P and hasn't happened since.

Willy willy good... I about spit my coffee all over my monitor at that one! Lol I bought one of those chinese carbs when I somehow accidently blew a main jet into the aether while holding it in my solvent soaked fingers and blowing it off with compressed air... I figured since I had to buy a jet and a rebuild kit I would just try a chinese carb instead. Started first crank and worked perfectly, I was impressed!

[@devontitterington6418]

Exact same experience over the three I've bought.

[@xSPLOOMPHx]

​@devontitterington6418 How have they held up over time though? Im trying to figure out whether to rebuild mine or buy some cheap amazon ones.

[@troywhitson9010]

I have bought Chinese carbs for a xr50 and dr200 just to see if they worked. They worked perfectly fine. Had to adjust the air screw for the xr50 a quarter turn out but that was it. The Chinese carb for the dr200 worked great right out of the box.

[@justinbrandt419]

Great info! Thanks!

I can't find the internal parts for my old original mikuni vm16. And can't buy original mikuni vm16. I found a replica of it. And I bought it. It came and it looks solid. I'm gonna fit it today

[@lovetoflylovetofly3843]

Bigger jets for the larger needle jet = same flow rate....maybe.

[@romeparrilla8307]

Thanks for this learning videos about carb.i would really appreciate if you can help and explain my problem,i just bought a 1981 h.ex.nc50 with a rusted and plugged up carb,so i bought a chinese made one fr ebay and when i installed it,the gas lever throttle cable is totaly loose and the jet needle wont go up or down,theres just no function,so i wonder how am i gonna make it work?Any idea?im just a begginner lol' thank you....

[@hvymax]

I've been looking at the Chinesium Flat Slides

[@ericprovenzano4919]

I just bought one... $18.00 I tried for days to clean the small pilot (pickup tube) to no avail. Installed a $18.00 carb, fired up on the 3rd kick. I little tweak on the air screw, and idle screw and she purrs like a kitten.

[@dogleg6669]

Amazon carb on my yamaha quad I had to put stock carb jets in.

[@Mr5000]

G'day mate , there's 2 screws an upper & one underneath it what are the adjustments on those two , thank you

[@jasperdomacena6491]

I have a Yamaha RXT 135 (a 90's 2 stroke Street Bike) the original carburetor is now acting up, it's just worth getting a brand new carb and reeds I've considered getting a carburetor from Alibaba the Chinese Carb out of the box is just garbage..the float height is just too low and the jets are winter tuned and the bike's running like crap so I did a bit of tuning replaced the jets and it ran fine and still getting 80-100MPG's from a 135cc 2 stroke engine I guess these Chinese Carb are just like out of the box guitars you still have to fine tune it to get the most out of it

[@223cycles2]

The best carb dip you’ll ever buy is original name brand Pine-Sol. Stronger and better than this new version of Chem Dip

[@MLAuto69]

Whatever you do NEVER get Chinese parts espically carbs. Ive been through to much with Chinese carbs. Better to spend more money and get a good oem one rather then to save some money and buy Chinese and want to light your bike on fire while trying to figure out the Chinese carb.

[@TehKaiser]

The one I got for a Briggs has rusted like real rust, or something very black pitted the walls of the bowl.

[@JenkkiMike]

Normally I'd agree with you but the CRF50 itself is made in China. The OEM carb on my son's 2021 will not cooperate no matter how much I clean it and only runs on half choke. I'm at my wits end and ready to roll the dice on a Chinese knock off.

[@goldensamurai2841]

@@JenkkiMike then roll the dice, its not like you're risking much

Big up sparky ,new sub from Essex U.K how about coming over and helping me to street fighter my ZX10R C2h model ?🥷
