would a 26 be ok i can get on ebay for 29$ (buy it now price) free shiping good deal? says its for a crf 50 will it work?

what are down sides of going to big?

Its probaly a 2 stroke carb get a 22 and just port the living hell out of the block so it matches up.

 

[jmorey92]

Bigger carbs have the potential to bog hardcore. There is just simply not enough suction to correctly run one. When in doubt go with the smaller carb.

I have a 22VM and if I could get the right main jet. It'd run like a champ...right now I can only use like 1/2 of the slide. :arf:
