The way this carb auction is titled imply it's a real Honda carb for ~$50 bucks. It should state aftermarket somewhere on the auction, or am I wrong?

A 91' OEM Honda carb sells for $140 new & this would be a deal if it were OEM.

However this is an aftermarket and can be found elsewhere for $32 w/free shipping.:44:

It sold for 30. I see no where were they implied it's original to the bike. Seller added, country of manufacture is ''unknown''. If it was original it would say ''Japan''. It doesn't get any more clear than that Adam. It says it was bought ''for'' the bike.

Sure it can get more 'clear than that', maybe specified as aftermarket or an OEM replacement.:Honda CT 70 trail 1990,1991,1992 Carburetor sounds like a Honda 91 carb to me. Anyway I was gonna make an offer until I compared my OEM carb to that one.

BTW, That one sold for $40, that buyer could have got one brand new for $34.44 shipped.

My bad, I forgot the shipping. If the seller said OEM that would be a different story. I guess I am pretty good at spotting non oem stuff,not easily fooled by ebay used knockoff parts.
