Polini vs OKO PWK carburetors
-
@Calum The bike is stock. What I have been told is that the stock engine will work well with the 30mm carb. I actually like the stock carb, my problem is that I can't find a repair kit, so I thought, if im buying a new one might aswell go for the 30mm.
The reason I mentioned the PWKs is the price, these two that I am talking about are about 3x less expensive than a dellorto.

@Calum I did not ask if there were going to be performance gains, but thanks for the help, i'll research other options.

@DanielClox "Best Bang for Buck" Stick with OEM.
Why do you need a rebuild kit? What's broken on it?
My issue will be, you may then comeback and spend hours jetting it. Remember Yamaha spend millions R&D in fueling. And you want to match that as best as possible. Fine if you know what you're doing and have a large budget. But not so great if you're inexperienced and becomes very costly if you get it wrong.

@Calum I don't really know. For starters I need the O-ring, which I know where to get, but I just can't get the carb to work. It was working fine and after not using the bike for 2 weeks everything just went nuts.
I haven't given up on the carb yet, I was just researching other options and had a question between Polini and OKO quality if I were to buy one of those eventually.

@DanielClox rebuild kits are all over eBay

@DanielClox i mean if you really want to buy a new carb why not? i bought a 36mm keihin pwk since my stock carb was acting up and stuff. also i would go for the polini
-
@claws exactly my thoughts, why not.
I think I managed to get the stock carb to kinda work but I think it would be interesting to get a new carb down the line.I've seen plenty of OKO 30mm working on DTRs so it can't be that hard.

Ive been off this forum for a good few months now but I went through a lot of tuning with a Polini PWK 32mm on my DTRE. On standard engine it took a lot of jetting and needle changes to find one that worked but when it was done it had a little more torque than stock. I had plans in the pipeline for a new engine build and programmable ignition which is why I changed the carb, my engine was worn out when I tried it at first but it does work and go well, you'll need to adapt your throttle cable. I have now built my new engine up with ignitech ignition and advanced map, carbon reeds etc and it needs rejected but goes very well, unfortunately I haven't had the time or enthusiasm to go on any bikes since spring last year but if I get round to it this year I will finish tuning the DT and write more on here, I have wrote some stuff about the polini carb on here before, I'm not sure if you seen it or not.
