Keihin VS Clone PWK

Keihin PWK Side by side comparison

[johnhosler]

I got a video of Chinese air strikers on a cb350. I choose them because they were cheap and I had no carbs, they run well, I jetted rich and ring it out to about 70mph. I lost bottom end but hey the carbs are massive.

At 1/3 to 1/4 and up, the cost of OEM parts, the aftermarket knockoff parts are often the way to go. I can understand the problem with the slides on carburetor you are talking about. The price and quality on the Internet (Amazon, etc.), is often difficult to beat for cheaper parts when you can use them.

I have ran a few, had to drill the main emulation tube to Keihin size and the fuel inlet as well! And when working on banshees it twice the problems to deal with! Had to run all keihin tuning parts including needles. They just aren’t worth the hassle and issues, put a genuine carb on and they tune out perfectly without fuss! Time is also worth money! LOL as a sidenote I’ve also had slides not fit at all and screw caps not fit at all as an interchange. Even had one set of carburetors that came with removable emulsion tubes, like a mikuni, super bizarre, and the emulation tube also extended up into the carburetor body, And effectively leaned out the mixture! I am done dealing with these! Would never buy again! Like some people have said they have gotten good ones, they work fine but if you have a deal with problems or potentially burn up a motor. $150 savings is now gone!

The clone carbs are awesome I have run them zero issues. Most people can't jet are carb doesn't matter what they pay for it

I use the China PWKs on a few of my dirt bikes and they seem to work fine. I do notice the original Keihin PWK is slightly heavier and feels more stout. The does work perfectly fine though. If rather buy original Keihin carbs but I wouldn’t spent $300.

As 'AdamNicholas' said below v knock-offs are fine If you can jet them to fit your motorcycle. I had to modify my emulsifying tube to get the float of work. Besides that < there's not much to make spending $300+ for a supposed genuine Keihin worthwhile IMO.

Looks like an easy & cheaper fix for a wore out needle seat, just swap jet blocks.
Thanks for the info.

I have a 21mm pwk. Doesnt have any threaded piece for cable. Spring white plastic cap thing an needle. Rolling wrench carb. Any ideas

[vivimu]

The china clones seem like a good donor for taking certain parts to put on the keihin

[bradsanders]

Blue and red JD needle is same, except the red is slightly leaner up to 1/4 throttle.

Where's the follow up? How's it run?

[mickrussell]

Dude!!!! Back the camera up please! I couldn't watch but a quarter of the video. I was bending my neck and ducking down trying to see!🤣

[snipezpro]

they are both legit keihin. aftermarked keihin is dmp and is not marked also with brand keihin

[sdnaik]

Hie Gud Mrng. How much dose a Keihin 32mm PWK Carburettor and a 20pcs jet kit will cost in your country?

[YeeThirty]

Wouldnt take much to polish up that slide though, any dings youre kinda sol but what can you expect lol

[iKenFlyPPG]

I like how they take the slides and throw them in a huge bin during manufacturing, zero F's at that factory probably, although it most certainly a terrible workplace.

[scottmckenzie]

when you removed the air screw did any of them have the the oring and little washer regards scott

[scootamagoo]

the china carb in this video does not look like an airstryker. I don't see the two fins on the intake side like the genuine one has in this video.

[austinbarmore]

@tepco cycle repairs. Is there anyway you can send me (or post) the link to that China carb. It seems like a very well made carb for a knock off

[ilham]

it seems they didn't just copy, but also develop it
