Thanks for the comments about the china junk carb. I have a 1982 Urban Express and WAS considering a Chinese carb but not now. Thanks again for the comments.
I bought a 1994 Honda FourTrax and it had a Chinese carb already on it. It did not include the factory carb or parts. The Chinese carb runs fine but Im having a overflow issue and trying to set the float is giving me problems cause these are no brand carbs and no specs to go by. But I can tell you it runs and has power. Just trying to remedy the float problem. A replacement stock carb is $316. No way in hell am I going to spend that on a 94 model. Or any other model. Sounds like yours was running rich and needed tweaked.
The difference in aftermarket and OEM not Chinese but your right you have about a 50/50 shot on getting one that works good now I’m rebuilding the oem carb on my Polaris ranger
I watched a bunch of TH-cam videos about using chinese carbs and ended up buying a few to try out. They aren't made like swiss watches, but I was able to make them work really well. I've been fixing motorcycles for a long time, with carburetor service being a primary request. I don't mind the quality of these units, for the price. With the right skills, you should be able to troubleshoot and modify as required. Buying chinese carbs isn't hurting the economy here, btw. The carburetors most people use are made in Japan. American made parts are much less common than people think, and generally the best components are Japanese products.
I bought a cheap carb for my honda 400x and 300ex and both carbs are actually better quality than the original stock honda carbs! Couldn't believe it! Anyway both machines run excellent now no problems. And by the way you can't let small engines sit with ethanol blended gas in them for any period of time, i don't care what carb you have on it ethanol will ruin everything.
@@MrBriansAmazingWorld it's been two years so far. I did put the stock jets in because there was no markings on the cheap carb jets though but other than that no problems.
When you say it wouldn’t idol with the Chinese carb did you adjust the idle mixture screw so that you had the right mix of gas and air. I do agree though that the Chinese ones suck because I have one that litteraly exploded with gas everywhere but now I realize I should just rebuild my oem carb because I never had a problem out of it
You said that the rubber diaphragm was an accelerator pump to give the engine more gas.. Wow ! Really? Maybe you should know what the parts actually do before you make a video about how bad chinese carbs are? I've had nothing but good luck with them and looks like your viewers have also.. that diaphragm is to lift the throttle slide and the main jet needle out of the main jet for proper fuel mixture into the enjine.engine.. do your homework!
must have been somethin you goofed on the install or just had a lemon. I must have bought and used over 50 of the china replacement carbs on various atvs, dirt bikes and small engines with zero complaints or problems.
It wasn't so much the jets but every rubber piece is rotted and junk after 1 year. Quality is just not there. Could spend hours tuning a cheap carburetor or fix the original one and be done with it.
@@MrBriansAmazingWorld that's not the case with every carburetor, someone ruined my old carburator on my ATV with blue sticky oil. It sealed the bowl shut and I still have some floatbowl screws that were incredibly difficult to remove without serious force. The last screw wouldn come off I was done with that old mikuni crap carburator the Chinese one I bought was the wrong size so it will run soon
You are 💯 on the dot I went through THREE Chinese carbs I’d have no power it would die out and the float would stick and leak a bunch of fuel I was pissed cuz I couldn’t tune it no matter what until I decided to fuck it and I ordered a 250$ oem honda carb never had any issues and it’s been a year those carbs lasted less than a week each
What's really fun is when they do the OPPOSITE of no power and give it full throttle without your hand involved.....😁😉This happened to me on my new 125 dirt bike with a cheap Chinese carb. And of course, not expecting or even knowing this could be a possibility, I got brain lock and froze, allowing the bike to take over, tried to steer it but completely forgot about the kill switch or putting it in neutral (it was in first). I was in the woods next to a road with random but fast traffic. The bike propelled me to the edge of the woods right before it was about to foist me out onto the road, there was a big fallen tree limb that caught my wheel and caused me to fall over right at the edge of the road. Very scary. Lesson learned. I won't get on my dirt bike again until that Chinese junk is replaced. The one on my husband's identical dirt bike spewed gas from at least 3 different places. He has already replaced his. I wish mine had just spewed gas. I still cringe thinking about what could have happened.....
There's worms inside of hotdogs and they cause me to projectile vomit blood out my flautuater back valve on command but not my command only the command of sweet little sunshine mesotopholes the eater of the sweater meater pecker beater 1234 I declare thumb war 5678 I declare its much to late 9 10 11 12 put yer keihin on the shelf 13 14 15 16 China carb works great for this peen.
The word of the day is Mayonaise............Mayonaise alot of idiots on here. Japanese bikes and quads use japanese oem parts , china doesnt obey copyrights or patents thats why theres such an availability of chinese knock off copycat parts. They fucking gramar and spelling isnt even right when you read the description on the packaging (if there is any paperwork included) you are exactly right about the fit and finish of the parts, very little prescision machine work and much lower quaulity , cheaper materials used. Mikuni and kehin carbs from japan are the only carbs i will use nowdays. I have two ranchers and an xr 250 and am atc 90 that i ordered chinese $12 carbs for and they will all start but the idle fluctuates and the floats stick and if i go out of towm for a week i have to pull them when i get home to clean them before theyll start
I've had my 7 two stroke replica mikuni supercross bikes running *SPOT ON * with my yikisuko chinese sputnikker carburetors for over 73 months now. Then again I only run VALVEtouchers 99 OCT@NE super gizmotron premixed (gender absent/they them type) fuel..... my names Rochester E. Dumplin and I may have a hairy palm but you can't say I don't brush it bro so BACK OFFFF THE CHINATOWN McCarbs! DID YOU EVEN TURN ON THE BUTTON? YOU KNOW.....The gas carbonater on the side of the carburetor?? If your gas ain't fizzy you ain't by gettin bizzy......KNOW WHAT WAT IM SAYING???? (huh huh? Huh? Huh? Well do ya now???? boyyyyyy!).
If ya carb won't IDOL properly....get a small but visible picture of Jesus and paste it on the floatbowl. Now it has an proper idol don't tell me it don't.... Yer rubbers wore out cuz ya forgot the KY Mr man
I learned that People make videos without any knowledge. I do not support the China Government, But I do support the cheap parts people make. So does America. Rejet the china carb for the motor and it will be great.
If you have a rice cooker and you’re making a large amount of Rice heat up your water in your instant water tea kettle then added hot water to your rice now it will not take as long know if you want to have your rice separate fry it first Then go from there I was trying to think of that store A vehicle that uses the brand that it comes with that say your wife’s brand or let’s say I have a Toyota forerunner 2002 Now I have to use products from the Toyota company and you have to use apart from the company that is from your brand of vehicle then the vehicle stays at value
These machines use Japanese parts. Way better quality. The Chinese parts are all poor quality.. All the rubber seals on this carburetor were cracked and junk after 1 year.
@@MrBriansAmazingWorld a company name does not mean actual manufacturer. Of course there are a few inferior parts, but many quality improvements have been made on many imports in the last 2 years ESPECIALLY. I rely on these parts for cost and with few warranty concerns on my work. As far as small gas engines, atvs, utvs,and all lawn equipment and chainsaws, there are almost no actual American made engine and transmission parts, just American ASSEMBLED. Many of my customers would not be able to afford American labor and parts prices , they stop coming, it's why I had to change to import parts with OEM specs. I get to see first hand, that most all problems with anything that customers bring me , is a mistake that they made. Many people that install new carbs, think that it is supposed to run right, and never make the appropriate adjustments. Or they tinker with it and never get it right. This is why so many repair shops have you leave the equipment. They don't want you to know it's a 15 minute fix.
Thanks for the video but you clearly don't understand how a constant velocity carburetor works. The slide that you called a fuel pump works off the principle that moving air has less pressure causing a vacuum effect raising the slide as the butterfly valve is opened.

nothing wrong with them.
Chinese carbs are the only ones that work for my honda atc

Quick search says the '94 Fourtrax 300 should have a float level of 18.5mm.

The problem is the quality of the rubber used to make any of the gaskets or seals only last a year or two before breaking down and cracking..
@@MrBriansAmazingWorld related to ethanol fuel?
I bought a cheap carb for my honda 400x and 300ex and both carbs are actually better quality than the original stock honda carbs! Couldn't believe it! Anyway both machines run excellent now no problems. And by the way you can't let small engines sit with ethanol blended gas in them for any period of time, i don't care what carb you have on it ethanol will ruin everything.
Wait a year and see how the seals hold up. I only run non ethanol gas in all my small engines. Worth the extra price.
@@MrBriansAmazingWorld it's been two years so far. I did put the stock jets in because there was no markings on the cheap carb jets though but other than that no problems.
@@cmnsnce2408 by any chance do you remeber the manufacturer of the carbs? I may want to buy one to save money XD
@@davidc5808 radracing. I was going to send a picture but it won't let me.

That OEM Honda carb is made in China....
Japan!
You’re smoking long john
@@dougharder6258 actually they moved the manufacturing and mass production lines to china... so... china really does make just about everything lol
@@micmic9410 long dong pilpher.
Taiwan to be honest subsidiary of kehin who originates out of Japan. However most of the oem honda carburetor came from Thailand or Taiwan.
The rebuild kits are made in China

ive got at least a dozen kitchen sink carbs and all work perfectly
must have been somethin you goofed on the install or just had a lemon. I must have bought and used over 50 of the china replacement carbs on various atvs, dirt bikes and small engines with zero complaints or problems.
This was the comment I was looking for lol
internals such as the jets are usually what give you trouble if you put your stock branded jets in there they Shoukd work similar

Quite the price difference between the OEM Honda Recon carb and the OEM Honda Fourtrax 300. The Recon carb is only $99, but the fourtrax 300 is $370.
