Yep. Every one of my Keihin clones have greatly varied in quality and build. The one on my Rhino was pure junk. For the 30.00, you can get a "known good" carb, that has readily available jetting for your particular mods and elevation....and every one I've replaced makes the bike/quad run stronger. Some folks have noticed this, some have not.

The other upside is you can do as many or as few mods as you want, and keep the bike breathing properly with the available Mikuni jetting.

That said, my neighbor is perfectly happy with how his new TT250 runs with the stock setup....but we're at 3000'. These CB's have a tendency to come horribly lean.
