Moderator drewpy Posted October 21, 2023 Moderator Posted October 21, 2023 i used one in a gilera and it had replaceable jets (some don't) managed to dial it in and ran well. A few years ago so no idea regarding the seller

I wish there were that many Ace carbs on E-Bay..!
jebb Posted October 22, 2023 Author Posted October 22, 2023 Sorry, should have specified...its for the dt
Moderator Snakebite68 Posted October 22, 2023 Moderator Posted October 22, 2023 Ok, so... I assume this is one of the Chinese ones you're talking about: Motorcycle Mikuni VM24 28mm Carburetor For Yamaha DT125 Motor Dirt Bike ATV | eBay Frankly, at that price, I see no reason not to try it out... Then of course, if you've got the money to blow, there's this: NOS spare parts Yamaha IT175: 1x carburetor carburetor - DT YZ MX 125 175 250 if necessary | eBay But get them to check the part numbers.
jebb Posted October 22, 2023 Author Posted October 22, 2023 I think at 400 odd quid I'll give the genuine one a miss...copy here we come....
NE0 Posted October 28, 2023 Posted October 28, 2023 I put a new cheap chinese carb from ebay on my DT175MX back in 2015 and it's still going! I think i was a bit disappointed in its performance at the time, I think I thought being all new it might make a big difference to the original, but it didn't. It was no better or worse. But I never took it off!
