    Ok

    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.

    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
