So I just went out and bought a fancy atv engine for cheap. I inspected the engine and it seemed to be good working order. The owner had been parting it out and had only sold off the carburator before deciding to sell it off as a whole. So it looked like a good engine and I decided, "what the heck? I can get a carb real quick and easy and have a decent engine with a transmission on my go kart". Which sounded a lot more fun than the Predator on it already. This was my mistake. I got online and found out to get a real manufacturer-made carb would cost $245 marked down from $304. I've been looking at cheaper options, but wanted an expert opinon. Are cheaper ones worth it? Are there other options that might be compatible? Could I modify a carb off a different engine? As can be assumed from my username, I am always looking to save a buck or two. I feel it might important to mention the model, too. It is a Suzuki LT185. Feel free to laugh or crack a smile. I'm kind of new to this stuff.
