Aftermarket carb

[agedatc]

Debating what to do about a carb for the 200x revitalization. I have the original 24mm keihin from the x on my 185s and it's running really well. Would like to leave it on there. I do have the original 22mm for the 185s, minus the bowl and float. The keihins on the Hondas were a proprietary design and I hmm haven't seen yet a carb that mounts to the stock manifold.
Is there an aftermarket carb that will adapt to the intake on the 200x?

I ran a XR200 carb, might be able to run a CRF230 carb but never dug into it.

The P.O. of my 200x put on a 22mm Mukuni, it runs good.

Put the 24mm back on the 200x. Find a used vm 22 for the 185 and rebuild it. I could suggest some different carbs but unless you are ready to tune all day then avoid it and just go back oem. You’ll thank me later

I had problems trying to get the original carb on my '87 200x cleaned and adjusted properly. I bought one of the crappy Chinese carbs from Fleabay and it works very well. I've had it on there for about 4 years now with no issues. If I recall correctly, it was something like $30.

I bought one of these a few weeks ago and was very impressed with how much better quality that it looked compared to the few other chinese carbs that I had bought. The carb body, on this one, above the bowl looks like it is cast rather than sintered metal and I think that makes a difference in how well it performs. I put it on an old 200M that never ran right and it started up first pull and idled and ran like a brand new ATC. It does not have the bracket or spring for the choke cable, but I transferred them from the old carb and it fits and works great. A lot finer choke adjustments with the cable. I bought two more and I am about to put them on 185's that need them. Since they come with a petcock, $23 shipped with Amazon Prime seems like quite a bargain. The spigot on the petcock aims down, but I think I will learn to like that.

It is marked PZ27 by the bowl seam and JIN WEI on the carb body at the slide area.
