keihin idle jet

look on the side

[maconboi]

seem to be one piece but may have just stuck together. here's the link. rode the scoot today all over town for 2 hrs getting it really hot and no trouble with overheating or knocking noises anymore. so i'm hoping it was that lean carb just wish i knew what the main jet was in the keihin

there were no marking on the jets anywhere side or top. the factory carb they were plainly marked main on top and idle on the side

[maconboi]

thats a fake counterfiet keihin that metal top and red enricher plug is a dead give away also it doesnt have PD-18J on the body. I just had to replace one of those that was brand new.......ive bought about 20 of these over the past year these are genuine keihin that come with marked jets 85/33 and 'Keihin' in the top:

well if it runs better just get some jets. i have a set. 80-100 $15

[maconboi]

yeah i need some jets anyway. was going to ask how to get with ya on those

[maconboi]

went ahead and ordered the carb anyway. rather have a spare around ya never know might as well make the fake the spare

did you pay for that carb through paypal? if so you can get your money back.

[maconboi]

yes i did but how you prove it was fake and i've already used it

[maconboi]

should have known it was a cheapo carb the bike never started the same after i installed

[Deleted]

log into paypal then click 'resolution center' then click 'dispute a transaction' then choose 'counterfiet goods' and in there put your mechanic informed you the carb is a counterfeit. Paypal takes counterfeit stuff real serious trust me. ebay and paypal are the same company.

did you leave feedback for the seller yet?

[maconboi]

thanks i'll do that nothing to loose yeah unfortunately. i did.

well the seller might not even know its fake. lots of them do drop shipping and never actually have the part in their possession.
