Moderator Airhead Posted January 30, 2013 Moderator Share Posted January 30, 2013 I doubt it...why would it be better? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oldbikerehab Posted January 30, 2013 Share Posted January 30, 2013 I like how it says "Assembled in Japan, China, or U.S.A." The listing also seems to say that it is better than the other mikuni replacements, not mikuni. I bought an aftermarket carb for my dt175, (the $30 something ones on ebay) and it's taken new o rings and a lot of tweaking to get it to work. Not to mention that none of the jets etc were stamped with numbers, so there's that. These actual mikuni carbs weren't listed anywhere when I bought mine, but even at around double the money, I'd go for this one: http://www.ebay.com/itm/Mikuni-Carburetor-Yamaha-DT175-DT-175-Enduro-Carb-/150931921829?pt=Motorcycles_Parts_Accessories&hash=item23243e5ba5&vxp=mtr Cheaper rarely equals better with moto parts.
