Anyone got any spare carbs? Not for me...

Hi Tim, hasn't anyone tried the OKO PKW/Chinese knockoffs?
Worth a try at £15-20 a go.

Wasn't aware of them Bernie. Agree that they're worth a look. I've sent the bloke who was asking me a link. Ta.

I have fitted the 34mm power jet ones on my 300, just setting up the jetting at the moment.
The quality seems good, and I could buy 3 full carbs for the price of a genuine throttle slide.

Had a reply from the chap that originally asked me (he's a member on here, but hasn't been on for a long time).

He tried KOSO carbs, but although the bike runs, it's pretty crude in terms of response and usability. Anyone had better success with them ?

Tim, carbs from tzr 250 2ma/1kt are pretty much the same, as are DTR 125. Might widen the search!

Thanks Dan, I'll pass the info on.

(I usually just try to persuade anyone who emails me to come on here instead, for a quicker and better response.) :lol:
