OK guys. The main nozzle in my OEM carb is broken, need a new carb. In going through the threads OEM vs aftermarket there are any number of comments about the aftermarket carbs being junk and stick to OEM.
Unfortunately in none of them do the posters give a specific reason the aftermarket carbs are junk. So I want to know if that is just a opinion, is it based on having used an aftermarket carb, and what exactly is wrong with the carb you used.
Mikuni, who can make a good carb can also make junk, at least design wise. OEM's buy aftermarket, repackage and sell as OEM.
Please don't need statements like China made carbs are no good, tell me why.
What broke, what didn't hold up?
