i have gotten the one for $50 that looks like a exact copy of the original one and it worked perfect. bolted it on no problems.
it was for my one 1983 185s

I just got one. I couldnt even get my 185s to run with it. I put the old one back on. I not telling you not to get one off of ebay I just happened to get one that wasent any good, things like that happens every now and then.

I'ved used them before with no problems. Probably pay you to take off the float bowl and blow out the jets and needle and seat with air before installing.

I got one for a 70cc mini bike. It worked fine but I did have to clean it first.

+1 on cleaning it can't hurt

I got a 40 dollar 28mm carb for my 200x, some chinese junk, cracked as soon as I put the float bowl back on.

I just put a 24mm ebay carb on my 1982 200 w/ Uni filter. I had to re-jet and set the float levels, but it starts on the 1st pull and runs through the gears. I still have to ride it a bit more to make sure it's ok. It would up liking a 112.5 main jet w/ the clip on the 3rd position. I set the floats "flat".
The 105 main was very lean and would only run right with the 1/2 choke engaged.
But so far so good. It beats a worn, almost 30 year old carb.

bought one...bolted right on. bike idled perfect that was it. wouldn't run anywhere else. looked for a drain plug on the bottom, there is none. took it off and put it back in the box where it sits now.
cleaned the crap out of the original oem one and put that on. bike runs mint. I did steal 2 of the sealing gaskets from the new chinese carb...EXACT FIT!!! but all in all you get what you pay for. they are all cast pig iron. if you overtighten the slightest...CRACK

I bought a 24mm pit bike "Mikuni" for my 90 .It still needs dialed in some but runs decent.

I don't think all Chinese carbs are created equal. Mine is almost an exact copy of the Keihin and is a quality piece. I've opened up enough originals and the one I picked up is very close in quality. It just wasn't "perfectly jetted" as advertised.
