Nock off makuni carb vm22

[John Roger]

Hey I bought a nock off makuni carb and the engine is all ways ruining lean even with a #125 jet and air fuel screw all the way out and still I have to have the choke on an idk why I have watched videos and they all say the same thing could I get some help btw I have a predator 212

Air screw all the way out lets in more air. Try all the way in and then back out a turn an a half.

All the "nock off makuni carb" that i have tried proven to be "unreliable"
Some guys have good luck with em, but not me. The genuine article, while 3-4 X $$$, have worked flawlessly right outta da box.

The nibbi carb I got works great too.

Where did ya get it and how do ya tell the real deal from a knock off?
My tolerance for crap that doesn't work is at an all time low.

I just ordered it from the jungle site.
The cg200 came with a pz27. It leaked and a new china pz27 was so cheap I just got a new one. Used it for a bit and after the cam and head work I couldn't get it tuned. The adjustment screws were nonexistent. Just needle height and idle.
I decided to get the nibbi 28mm.
It was quite a bit bigger. Interior bore was highly polished. The slide was polished. The jets are keihn so easy to get replaced. It came with 2 extra mains and an extra idle jets which was nice. And it's Purdy too!
I have more pics in my thread but here you can see the slide and the bore polish.

I got it working one of the jets was not working it now idles okay bit sputtery and throttle response is okay I adjusted the air fuel screw the wrong way because on this carb out is more fuel and I was tightening it so I got it run with out choke to and I have to adjust the needle to stop the bogging with throttle

Usually air screws adjust air.
In rich, out lean.

Which side of the butterfly is the screw on?
Usually air screws are before and fuel screws are after.

Fuel screws are in lean and out rich.

Post a pic of your carb.

For this carb is just like a makuni bottom towards intake is air fuel screw and on the pull start side is a idle screw

There's tons of screw on type mufflers/silencers for Predator engines on the jungle site. An example:

I know this but like generator mufflers

 

[Whitetrashrocker]

Put one on and try.
It will probably restrict some flow and rob you of HP.

I bought one and a performance muffler
