How much should a carb cost?
-
The carb that came on my recently purchased DTR isn't really fit to keep going.
I've found an exact replacement Mikuni carb on Ebay for £150, my local mechanic quoted £450 for a new one.
Is 150 a good price? it still seems like a lot.
-
I've ended up just buying it. My situation means I need one ASAP really.
150 is a lot less than the 450 the mechanic quoted. At least I'm not being ripped off quite as badly as I could have been.
I would still be interested to know how much anyone thinks it should cost.

Wow I used to buy ones like new from a Gilera sc125 or the Derbi gpr125 (the older 2 stroke ones) for about £20
-
I'll let myself think that there's something special about this one for the DT that warrants it's high price, although I somehow doubt that's the case. Oh well... Hopefully my bike works this time next week.
-
Uhhmm no. You can get something really special for that Price!
It all depends though. If it's brand new then fantastic! If it's old and used then no. I sold my perfectly good one for about 30 quid and a special one for about 60.
The dt carb can be had anywherr they are common. But if you get it new then 150 sounds like a goof price. Although it's a carb so unless it's shagged I would have gone used.

I bought my carb (Mikuni TMX30) brand new for around £120

@ConnorDTR Sounds like a good price
Always Originate, Never Pirate!

@Calum Off of sips scooter shop, pretty decent selection for carbs. I didn't even know how expensive carbs should've been just liked the look and features of it lol

I got a Mikuni TM 28 brand new for 75 GBP from Amazon USA

@ConnorDTR yeah that is the way to go. Think I paid 60 for my tzr rr belgarda vhsa carb. But have seen them go for silly money.
