Carburetor KOSO, 34mm, Flat

this a carb i found looks to be good just wandering what your opinions are. its a replica keihin but its alot cheaper than a keihin. let me know ur thoughts

 

[little3mil]

id say save the extra 50 bucks and get a pwk bro

 

[acezeesawtooth]

side question... what do all the letters mean on the carbs? pwk pe pj

 

[blasterdemon7]

You may not be able to bore that carb. I have an oko carb and it looks like they already bore it out to get the size. I have a 30 and where it go's into the boot looks to thin to do any boring.

 

[acezeesawtooth]

^^^ what are you talking about... im talking about buying the one in the link new off ebay they are around 90 bucks

 

[Awk08]

34mm is way too big for your mods, no need to go that big with a stock pipe and no porting, 28mm or 30mm is enuf

i believe he got a 240 with wildcard agr trail port from ebay and all that

 

[acezeesawtooth]

i understand that but i have a 240bb kit with wild card porting, and an f7 pipe coming they are already in the mail and im putting them on this winter... im just buying all my mods now riding it stock and turning into a beast over the off season I:I so i will need a 34 or 35 for those new mods

i would say get it u wont get the most outa all r mods with the dinky stock one

 

[acezeesawtooth]

thats what i thought... i mean its half the price and ive been doing comparison photos and i cant tell the different between it and a keihin, they even use the same jet and needle

 

[Kgibson]

It's a China knockoff of the keihen. It takes all the same jets. I've had a couple with never a problem, but with china.... buyer beware lol

 

[acezeesawtooth]

have you used this particular carb, the koso brand or just other keihin knock offs

 

[BustedassYZ]

I would just buy a used keihin, You can probably get one cheaper and not support the Chinese crap.

 

[acezeesawtooth]

yeah... im starting to think (unless i can get a koso super cheap) im gonna stay safe and go with the keihin

 

[royalt67]

You can't beat the real thing. Shop around and you can get a PWK35mm for under $200.

BTW, the PE, PJ, and PWK are models of carbs. PWK is the newest design and the best to have for max power. A PJ34 can be bought used a lot easier and cheaper and supposedly has better low end but it is an older design. You will need a larger intake manifold for the larger carb.

 

[acezeesawtooth]

^^ you cant mod it... ive heard of people just grinding out the center of the rubber intake, but if not ill just buy a new one

 

[royalt67]

Yeah, some people mod the intake, but I wouldn't.

 

[acezeesawtooth]

what can you do to the filter side... i just bought a new k&n filter to fit in the box i dont want to have to get one that fits direct onto the carb

 

[sicivicdude]

The thing I would be careful about is them using cheap materials on the slide and the carb body then keihin does. Cheaper material-wise BUT it will eventually begin wear out and change your mixture without you realizing it. When it leans your top end out sufficiently to take out a piston that $100 you saved on buying the cheap POS carburetor won't be such a savings then will it?

As slickerthanyou what he thinks about those PWK knockoff carbs and their "chrome" slides...

 

[brandoz28]

you're putting a lot of really nice parts on the bike..............you really want to risk the well being of that new top end by saving a few bucks on the carb.


you'll be much happier with a 35mm pwk. the idle on a 34pj is already finicky, now add the fact that its a china knock off i don't expect it to be much fun
