New Carb Purchase Advise Please

[RhinoMan4u]

Here's the deal I have a stock motor with a 240 sleeve and piston, dual stage reeds, and a uni filter, and keep in mind within a month or two I'll be purchasing a Vito's pipe and silencer. My problem is a bad carb. I'm looking at 2 choices, fix the stock carb, then spend $25 on a jet kit and $50 for a tors eliminator cap, but rather than investing $ into the stock carb I want to just buy a aftermarket one. Like a 28 or 30mm. What is the best carb choice for my setup and where is the best place to buy one from? I'm trying to stay under $200 and still use my factory boots.

with a 240 cylinder on that motor you should really step up to a 34-36mm carb. anything smaller and that motors going to be starving. you can find a used 34mm keihin pj carb for next to nothing on ebay. pick one of those up and then just spend the 50 for a bigger intake boot.

if you have the funds the 35mm airstryker pwk is the usually best option for most 240's ...the 34mm 250r based PJ carb wil work but it is way outdated and will not respond in the lowend (sadly the choke is part of the idle circuit)like the modern airstryker would ,get atleast a 30mm and avoid mkunis at al lcosts

I agree with Flotek.
I actually found a 35a/s on ebay for a hundred bucks, got lucky I guess.

I ended up ordering a 30mm d slide card from Carb Parts Warehouse. Comes with jet kit and motion pro throttle cable, and fits stock boots I:I

What flows more....... a 240 jug, or a ported 200?

Nobody on here is willing to tune them, except me, they work just fine.

i have a mikuni its pretty good lots of tuning though. i just seen an a/s 35mm go for like 70 bux on ebay the other day. u should be fine with the 30mm for now with an unported 240. get a good exhaust and its be nice.

 

[hickskateboarder]

i would say a properly ported 200 could outflow a non-ported 240

 

[Kennedy_Power]

Your right Hick
A stock bore and stock stroke blaster that has the head modified and ported will make more power then a 240cc kit that is not ported.
I have seen some 240cc kits from big name companies do horrible work on 240cc kits. The intake bridge is so small that it either breaks or crack. The exhaust timing to so far off; the transfer duration is set for a engine that would be designed to run with a straight pipe.

you know, i've heard somewhere that 2stroke carbs use a different slide than 4strokes. like a 2stroke would use a 1.5 size slide where a 4stroke would use a 3.0 or something like that.
anybody know anything about that? i can't think of why that would be.....

Thanks Hick and Kennedy Power! I:I

What do you mean by "fix" the carb? What could possibly be broken!? From my experience with bike and quad carbs there are very few wear and tear items inside carbs. What specifically is broken? If your having an issue with it then its most likely cloged up or dirty or improperly jetted/adjusted.
