Need advice thinking about replacing the carb

Post by actmobmar »

I've been fighting a running rich problem with my 01 kdx200, found a cracked in the main jet holder at the mounting ear, went to take it apart and the ear fell off. Ive got a couple of options, buy a used carb and rebuild it, or buy a pwk airstriker 35, they are around 190$. One other option is to do a pwk 36 airstriker , but I think dimensionally it is different (correct me if I'm wrong ). I trail ride and am looking to do some amateur hare scrambles. Bike already has the fmf gnarly pipe and silencer. What would you guys do?

I would highly recommend that you buy a new, modified carb from RB. He does a really slick battery of mods to a PWK and it's a major improvement over any stock or unmodified carb. The stock carb was pretty thrashed on my '89 so I bought one from RB. If you have your head modified at the same time (also highly recommended) you'll save some money on shipping.
