New Carb

Post by Austin070496 »

I bought a new carb and was putting it on my elite SA50 and it seems like the stock throttle cable is pulling it too hard. The needle is the only thing that shows inside of the carb. Is there a way to loosen the throttle cable?

What’s wrong with the original one?

It was so dirty and covered in oil from the original owner and was full of oil as well so i just got a new one to save me the time it would take to clean the old one.

99% of the time it’s worth cleaning out the stock carb or finding an OEM used replacement. Most aftermarket clone carbs aren’t made to the same standards and will never let the bike run properly.
