Default Chinese SUPER E

Anybody tried one of those Chinese JIK Super E carbs I am seeing on e-bay? For $50 I wouldn't expect too much.

From Google and YouTube they seem to work fine. Might be worth it if for nothing more than spare parts...they usually come with an assortment of jets and whatnot.

At least you wouldn't have a heart attack if you had to take a file and a grinder to it to make it fit. Heart Healthy!!!!

As long as the real deal is available, I wouldn’t support the country that wants to kill us all if the damn things were only $5.00 with free shipping.

hello shovelnik,
have you thought of maybe going OEM Keihin ? i have bought 3 OEM Carbs & have had no problems at all with them, 2 were double pull throttle & 1 is single pull big TIP :
buy ones that have NOT had the mixture screw plumb taken off . . . all three of mine were plug & play ! really just check them out & replace any O ring gaskets & maybe the accelerator pump diaphragm . . . heres an example of one that available here in Germany . . .the last one i got was a 2 pull from MachIVMotors in the USA for only 52$ plus shipping . . .


single pull throttle for sale on ebay.de . . .


my last 2 pull throttle , both just plug & play no guessing on wich jets or other tuning issues . . .
