norcoforever Posted September 30, 2012 Share Posted September 30, 2012 whats wrong with your current one? you wont see a huge increase in performance really, not quite right buddy, the blackout comes with a cheap knock off of a walbro carb, they are known to be of really poor quality and cause a lot of tuning issues i would suggest a genuine 668 walbro carb, there are other option but after speaking to a lot of people who have used 813's etc almost all come back to the 668 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not saying there the best around but it's not been the worst iv had but has been decent and sill going :-) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(btw i wasn't recommending the 813 as they're aren't my favourite lol) Never had a 668 lol And wouldn't recommend a 813 either hahah but I also wouldnt say the blackout stock carb was crap either as it lasted longer than my 813 and the km stock carb hence why it was swapped between the 2 ;-) Tho I did need to clean it a few times but allways worked afterwards :-0 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tectic Posted October 1, 2012 Share Posted October 1, 2012 Walbro 668 if you want a choke or a Walbro 990 if you prefer chokless Have to admit my blackout carb did not hold a tune well Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
x-baja man-x Posted October 1, 2012 Share Posted October 1, 2012 813 carb is my pick not had any problems with it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pprracing Posted October 1, 2012 Author Share Posted October 1, 2012 Thanks for advice guys .. only probs iv had with it . It floods the motor easily and bogs down a lot low revs . Adjust the carb and it runs ok for a bit before needing more adjustments... Like people said just cheap and quickly manufactured part I think 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
