I wish there were that many Ace carbs on E-Bay..!
October 22, 20231 yr Moderator 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.
October 22, 20231 yr Author I think at 400 odd quid I'll give the genuine one a miss...copy here we come....
October 28, 20231 yr 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!
