Anyone have experience with after market carbs.

Hey hoghead what’s your question ? Aftermarket as in a generic or an upgrade ?

Generic ,I was looking at a ZOOM ZOOM PARTS 1993 1994 1995 Yamaha Kodiak 400 Carburetor YFM 400 4x4 Carb ATV YFM400

My carbs float is sticking, a rebuild kit does not come with all the jets so the zoom zoom is about  the  same price

I put that carb on my Polaris 200 Phoenix. And also my 90cc Polaris predator.   It worked great! Could not believe it. I figured how could a carb for that price work. Especially on my predator because it’s a two stroke oil injected carb. So far so good. I sold the 200 and still see the bike out there riding good.

Quick question. The float in your carb is sticking the main fill needle connected to the float that’s allowing fuel to enter the bowl? Reason I’m asking I recently picked up a carb cleaning brush kit from amazon.  It will have a brush in the set that runs up and down the port cleaning and brushing it. And that needle can be scrubbed with a scratch pad along the side rails where it’s probably getting hung up.  It’s a tedious job but it works if that’s the only thing going on with the carb. Just a thought.

I tried to upload a pic for you to see but there is something going on with the site I think so I can’t upload anything ???  $8 bucks on amazon  

Anyone reading this post that works on bikes I recommend having this set.
