Bucket bits wanted & services needed

I have left hand tap so I buy male rose joints and use hex bar to make joiner rods. Aliexpress is your friend. . . if a bit slow.

Im looking for brand new carb for my RG150. Any you bucket guys who one that will work? I know there is heaps available for 4 strokes.

Reason. I seized one motor because something in carb blocked up. Im spending $1000 on building my new motor with Genuine parts so don't want to put another shitty dirty carb on it. I herd 85cc MX bike carbs might be similar size 28mm?

Thanks for reply. Not sure if those carbs will work with 2 stroke?

You really need to ask what is blocking the carb in the first place; in reality it will likely happen to a new carb as well.
There are only really two possible sources:
1) air, air filter, air box & correction jets. Clean up them up
2) fuel, shit in the tank, shitty fuel lines, shit filter. Same as above.

Someone in Auckland was offering carb (and other engine parts) cleaning service on trademe. It wasn't acid dipping but... Ultrasonic cleaner is worth a shot.

If your hell bent on a new carb, get a PWK and be done with it. eBay. I wouldnt waste my time on an MX carb unless it was in a box new.

Few things I could sort
correction jets
shitty fuel lines
shit in the tank

I found this site so will get a PWK from here.

If you want to race in development class , then keep it stock, fix the problem and put a fuel filter on , problem is most likley the petrol tank, so you would be wasting your money on another carb becauase the old one got dirty

I put new filter on and lines when I got the bike ready for track before the last of the Pacific club rounds.

There is also in the rules.
In instances of wear and tear damage or failure, parts may be replaced but must not derive a performance advantage.

Fitting a new Mikuni 28mm, same size and make of carb the bike came out with like this one.

Not a performance advantage in my opinion,

That is not the same carb as std, that is an RG250 carb

Might regret this, but son apprentice mechanic looking for unfinished project, anybody want to clear something out? Research so far looks like it will take a while and much cash to gather together enough bits for a build from scratch.
