1985 250SX Carb help...

[Caminofeld]

The carb on my 1985 250SX is completely shot and not rebuildable...so I got the only replacement I could find, which is Chinese and absolute crap. I should have known when it said it also fit about 30 other bikes/trikes. Anyways, I want a quality new carb and was wondering if I anyone had any ideas or knew of any carbs that I could interchange (like putting a 400EX carb on my 350x). Thanks!

Those Chinese carbs are junk. Guys have reported nothing but problems ranging from poor engine performance to cables not fitting right. There are a few guys who have reported success but not very many. I have a rebuilt carb ready to bolt on. Its been disassembled, cleaned, bead blasted, cold start mod, reassembled with a fresh rebuild kit, and most of all, its been tested. This carb was in beautiful shape when I got it and its perhaps the cleanest carb I've rebuilt so far. I have rebuilt many of these carbs and I have a mockup I use for testing them. It is an OEM QA series carb ready to go. 150.00 shipped to the lower 48.

That testing bench is awesome...

Thanks. It works great and is a real time saver. It works just the same as it would in the trike.
