Any chance you can post a pic of what your bike looks like? First time I've heard of the Tank Sport, and my basic websearch for the bike is of no help either

Welcome to the forum, I'm sure someone with more China Bike experience will be by to help

Welcome aboard. Bike looks to be in good shape for an 07. I sure someone will have some information on it.

What carb do you have on it? Take a close up of the carb and I could help. More than likely you could use a MIKUNI VM26 Carburetor $35.99 on Amazon. https://www.amazon.com/MIKUNI-VM26-C...9269D92RNEDSSH

Just your standard Keihin knock off that comes on most of these bikes. It's not a bad carburetor. Most people convert to the Minkuni for ease of tuning - specifically finding jets cheaply and easily, but you can make the PZ30 work just as well. Honestly, if you search just a little bit, you can find the pilot jets for the Keihin as well. I've seen a 30 to 60 size slow jet kit for them for 5 bucks. There is nothing magical about the Mikuni over the PZ30 otherwise.

In fact, you can get the PZ30 knock offs with an accelerator pump feature for the same price or less than the VM26 knock off. People often complain about the "dead spot" when they blip the throttle with the mikuni, and that would solve said issue. Mikuni VM carbs had the same feature as well back in the day, but I have yet to see a knock off with one.

Here's one: http://www.ebay.com/itm/Mikuni-VM26-...tY-KhP&vxp=mtr


You can save a few dollars by ordering from China.

I'd just get the Mikuni. Not one thing wrong with it, lots of guys here and on other bikes run it, and it works well. Heck, I ordered one.

Got mine straight from Amazon with free shipping for less than any of the ones I found on ebay. https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0...?ie=UTF8&psc=1

I also spent the extra few bucks on one of these, because this screw is a total pain to reach. Not necessary, but it makes life easier. They make them for the PZ30 too if you think it is cool and want to go that route. http://www.ebay.com/itm/111981067209
