Arctic Cat ATV Chinese Carburetor Fix or Fail?

We had some trouble with our ATV not running. The carb kept overfilling and after changing the float needle the problem continued. We decided to give one of the Chinese carburetors off E-bay a shot and see if that would fix the problem.

My Kimko 07 MXU500 kept leaking petrol from the float valve seat of the carbretter. The new carbretter was $500. The same size carbretter made in China was $40. It's working very simply and well with only the carburetor exchange. Same thing as the carbrector you bought. The carbrector without the electric choke.

I didn't expect that carb to work, I've had zero luck with aftermarket carbs. I've tried them on a few different engines with no success. Good to see there's one out there worth trying.

Thanks for watching and your comment. I wasn’t expecting much but for $50 was worth a shot. So far it’s working great. Fingers crossed that it will keep working. Have a great day and be safe!

At about 4:45 the vacant space on the one and hole on the other side of the carburetors is for a manual primer circuit. Glad to see it worked I'm in the middle of a frame up restoration on my 99 and opted for one of the cheap China models as well. Everything else for that matter from brakes and rotors- wheel bearings. Even the voltage regulator and coil.

Thank you for watching and commenting. Yeah that carb oem was crazy expensive. The Chinese one is working great so far so hopefully that continues. Thanks again and be safe!

Glad it worked out for you..I need to rebuild mine but looking at the factory parts...they are expensive...maybe ill give an aftermarket carb a try too.On your quad when you shift into low gear does it show an (L)? mine just blinks a line..but mine shows R...N and H..kinda weird.

Thanks for watching and your comment. That carb is working great at barely a fraction of the oem cost. The L does show on ours when it is in low. Good luck and let us know what you find out. Have a great day and be safe!

I bought a carb very similar to yours off Amazon for our '04 500. Idles great, but bogs when you give it throttle and only tops out at about 30 MPH. I'm guessing the jets are the wrong size compared to stock. Hope yours is holding up okay!

Do you have an eBay link for the carb?

Thanks for watching and your comment. I don’t have a link sorry. It was the NICHE carburetor that I used. The same carb was on ebay and amazon for the same price. Ours is still working great. Good luck with yours! Have a great day and be safe!

@@MeasureInGrains sorry yours didn’t work correctly. Mine came from Amazon from a company called all-carb. The same ones can be found on EBay and I actually thought that was where I found it. Weird thing when I ordered it was $46 now the price is $65…. Best of luck and hope you get it back to running soon.
