Hi y'all,
So last month I got a cheap knock-off vm22 carburetor, only to find that the jets it takes are not the same as the OEM stock Mikuni vm22 jets. Obviously I need a carb that I can get jets for. Because of this and a few other issues, I've decided to invest in an authentic Mikuni vm22-133 carb, or at least a well-made knock-off that uses authentic jets. I have seen some affordable knock-offs that look Identical to the real deal, only to discover they don't use authentic jets. there are so many knock-offs on ebay and amazon that I don't know where to start. It's looking like the only option that fit's my criteria is one of the supposedly authentic vm22-133 for about $112-$135 on ebay or amazon. Is this a good option? If I'm spending over a bill, I want something worthwhile. Does anyone know where to purchase a quality vm22? Also, I assume the standard vm22 jetting kits that are all over ebay and amazon would work with an authentic vm22? I already have these jets, so that would be convenient. I'm mainly concerned with quality though, so if I have to get different jets, so be it. Summing up, Are there any affordable vm22 knock-offs that use authentic jets? If not, where is a good place to purchase a legit vm22? And how much am I looking to spend?
Thanks,
J
