Spotted: New C95 carb on "That auction site"

Post by comp_wiz101 »

Sooo, another carb is making its appearance on the 'Bay from Thailand:

Sure, it doesn't have the power jet for the CA95... any other thoughts as to whether someone would be wasting their money?

This carb has studs. The C95 & CA95 carb has mounting holes and the studs are in the head. So mounting the carb is the first challenge.

I actually bought the same carb with holes rather than studs for my CA95 at the time.

This carb does not provide any low end power. I could never go moderately slow in 4th of 3rd gear without bogging down. So your always winding out the bike and bogging down and downshifting on small inclines.

When I installed a rebuilt original carb the difference was night & day regarding power.

On a positive note, the engine idled nice with the asian carb.
