Whizzer Carburetor Replacement

[BufordTJustice]

Greetings, after removing the motor on my WC-1, I will install a new cast iron Westman NE-5 cylinder and head that is being discussed in that thread.

After replacing the cylinder and head, I also have a new carburetor. I wanted to get opinions on this.

Is this a good carburetor (made in Japan) for this setup?

Certainly 10 times better than made in China...lol.

Is that an OKO? What size is it?

Even though it says "Standard of Japan" on the side, it's a China carb. Japanese carbs are way more refined, and have a true quality look than that one. Give me a minute and I'll post what one looks like. This is yours, just so you know how rough it looks.

The casting on this one is a lot smoother.

Thank you, I'm very annoyed at that because when I bought it from Paul, I said, "I'd rather it be from Japan than from China"!! Maybe he didn't know, or maybe he did

I would expect that he did not know. Those are standard type carbs on the new whizzers for the most part. I was fooled by your first picture... did not read "Standard".. only Japan. Chainlube, how much is a Japanese one like that cost?

That carb is probably 150 USD, I didn't pay that though. Something like $60 used. It's not for a little bike engine. It's a 40mm carb for a 400cc 2t.

I wouldn't hesitate to use the one @BufordTJustice posted, I've used lots china carbs in the past with success.

Sorry, you meant the one @BufordTJustice posted. Any idea what the bore is? Small bore carbs from Japan are hard to find new, most are outsourced to china.

OK it's a Kie Hin knock off what size carb is it anyways 20mm or 24mm
