    Anyone familiar with this eBay carburetor?

    Description says a 22mm, dunno... Considering one for my CT70H w/88cc Dr. ATV bore kit. Says the jets are replaceable but with what?

    Does anyone have a mixing number for Honda Cloud Silver so I could source it locally... Or better yet a powder (for powder coating).

    CT70(88cc kit and cam)vs lifan 125cc

    The Lifan may outrun you but the Honda will be running long after the Lifan is dead and buried. Lifan motors are great runners but "disposable".

    Painting Cylinder?

    Whatever you use, I would go light with the paint. After all, the cylinder is designed to transfer heat.

    $%^^$#@ keihan carbs

    I've used stainless thread inserts from McMaster-Carr in the carburetor as well as the engine cases, head, etc. Drill and tap 3/8 x 16 (inch) and sock them in. They have a thread locking compound already on them. 97120A11018-8 SS Self-Locking Thick Wall Insert M6-1.0 Int Thrd, 3/8"-16 Ext...
