thanks Chris, I took it apart and the quality is ferkin terrible, the slide is so bad I laughed, main jet is a button and has no sizing on it, I may be able to use the gaskets but as for the rest, it's so bad I would not put it on a foul stroke.
If any one wants it go through my rubbish

I've seen them with slide problems before too. The one I use doesn't fit other slides I've tried. I have another slide here you could try? Otherwise yeah I'll go through your rubbish for it.

The original OKO fake is made in Taiwan and the body of the carb is cast from a grainy cast alloy that machines quite well. An original OKO,s bore is bored straight through, no taper at all. But if its a pot metal body then its definitely a fake of a fake. Bring it around and we can see what can be done with it.

EBay, it said made in Taiwan and genuine OKO but I figured it was BS, it really is very poor

Where does KOSO fit in here. Also a fake of a fake I'm sure. It's what I've been running on my diesel which probably explains a few things hahaha

So how does it match the website how to pick a fake?
Where does TZ350's ones come from Akunar?

Yep. I run a button head, small emulsifier tube KOSO fake fake. Says a lot about the quality of the throttle response...

Hey, I've got the same fake fake.


I took it apart and the quality is ferkin terrible, the slide is so bad I laughed, main jet is a button and has no sizing on it

Do the normal OKO jets fit in? Or I am wasting my time making a cable for this bad boy if it's never going to run right.

Cheers

Dear

hi Tim

how are you

what i know is the carby is from OKO factory , and you can see my photos showed, i never write any jets size on ebay photos or ebay description . because i dont know the size.

another side, i sold so many OKO carby, and only you said it was a fake . you can see my feedback, it was not cheap item.


what i can do is : if you insist to feel it was not real OKO. then send it back to me, i will refund the payment .

there are lots of other clients need it.

peter

Dear partsmarket2011,

Hi guys,
The " OKO " arrived but is rubbish, it is a FAKE
The slide is so bad it would be unusable in a lawn mower, the main jet on an original OKO is hexagonal and has the jets size on it, yours was a button and no size
I want a full refund as it is so obviously not an OKO.
If I hear nothing back I'll contact EBAY and show them a real OKO and your fake and they can decide what to do
Tim

You crack me up Kel, he said to send it back but I told him that as he would only resell it to anther sucker I would throw it in the bin and give him god awful feed back, which I have, looking forward to his reply.
