I would have to see a picture of the parts you're concerned with to direct you in the right direction.
Whats up with these carburetors?

Dear Fellow Motorheads-I had an NT on my Grubbee and it worked great. Does anyone notice any obvious performance improvements replacing the NT with the BoFeng?-Gearhead437
I have posted many, many, times for about two years now of just how much better the BoFeng is over the basic NT...Maybe someone else will also chime in on their viewpoint,
Here are a variety of opinions:
New Bofeng carb
Has anyone tried the 19mm Bofeng carb. It looks to be a NT knockoff but without the fuel purge button It also has a thicker flange where it meets the intake. It's clamp also seems to be a stronger one less likely to leak

In all seriousness, the BoFeng is better. Think NT V2.
- Removed the pointless primer/tickler that is prone to leaks and failure.
- Made the casting of the main body and fingers for the mount thicker and thus more durable.
- Made the needle jet with a proper emulsion style design improving fuel atomization for better low throttle fueling and responsiveness.
Honestly, for a cheap single jet carb they are hard to beat. The only way they could get better would be to add an independent idle jet and mixture adjustment, and maybe a better float design.

Honestly I went from the NT to the Bofeng on the PK80 and noticed zero performance change. I do think the Bofeng is a better design though.
you wont see any power gains at the top. The idea of "performance" can mean many things as well. Better throttle response an fuel economy in the lower throttle positions is an improvement in the performance of the carb, if not outright power

Yeah, the BoFeng isn't gonna give you more or less performance, it is just a simply better design
I got the better throttle response and the better gas mileage with mine that @ImpulseRocket has previously mentioned.
You know he don't read...
