FJ180V carburetor re-installation help!!

[upupandaway]

Most of the cheap Chinese carburetors I buy run just fine.

Same. Almost all work fine. I just don't want to get someone to bet their business on one like I do as I do this as a hobby on stuff I find. Twice have I got a carb that didn't work- one time, they didn't drill the bowl's bolt.

kbowley, You can pay me later.

Look at the grime on the valve cover. Scared to pull the shroud and look at some cooling fins.

Oh and nice air filter LOL. One of those racing ones that flow a lot of air, and dirt LOL.

Well, I'll be! By golly, that's the first one I have seen run right...although I didn't hear it at different engine speeds. What's your PayPal address?

The Chinese are masters of knocking off products in general. The difference is 25 years ago, the quality just wasn’t there, however, today, it is much improved. Much of what we buy and use everyday is made in China, etc.

I didn't put the filter back yet. It was only the second time it fired up. Notice the 2 screws missing, one that bolts the filter holder - throttle - shroud.

Dirt- how many times have you come across something that has never been cleaned? Everyone here knows it is normal. I fired up the power sprayer for a good cleaning afterwards.
