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.

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.

good video and job as always the factory parts are way to high. i have a john deere amt600 the kawsuckee engine never ran right you had to walk home more than not replacement motor was over$1600 i let it set over 2 year got a HFT motor moved motor mounts and re done frame paid $100 for long belt and still had less than $600 in it not counting labor and it runs better than it ever did.. take care, be safe and well.

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.

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?

[MeasureInGrains]

I'm guessing 10 days later wont give you much of a longevity review. Getting a carb for mine in the mail today. Hopefully I get similar results

I just change carburetor to on my Arctic cat and it works very well. But see how long it will last.
