Hey guys - been a lurker for a while but first post. I have a Yamaha AT2 125cc that's missing a carb. What's the best new carb I can buy for this bike? I'm not having luck finding a stock carb or the prices are nuts. I'm curious if any of the chinese no name carbs on ebay have worked well enough to recommend.

The old carb got wrecked from very old fuel plus some reaction between the tank liner (??) and fuel stabilizer plus bad gas. Hoping to flush the gunk out of the crank and try to get it up and running without splitting the crank.

Thanks!
 

Welcome from NZ where we're hard up for parts but China throws then down here cheap with free freight mostly lol. So i'm gonna get rubbished for this but that's ok, all in fun--till i'm loosing. Here's a link with my first google without trying but for the price i'd be pushing the button & get it sent. I base that on having used a similar carb on my 175 which has a rubber manifold & a slide in carb, but very similar. Think i had to alter the slide needle clip position but that's about all. Also used one on my Honda 185, proper one for that model, & was perfect out of the box. Maybe i was lucky 'twice' but don't usually have much luck. Anyway, looks too good not to have. It's been said that jets don't match Mikuni & in hind sight with mine on the 175 i think i did change thread on either a Mikuni jet or ran a threading tap up the spout to match the mikuni jet, too long ago & still goes perfect. My carb wasn't specifically for my model bike so jetting was random when it arrived. But your type carb listed for 'your' model i'm thinking might be in the ball park for jetting--or bolt on & ride away. Good luck with whatever you decide. ps, mine is an AT1 1970 with a TY175 top end from about "76 & goes like a rocket. I guess yours is electric start where my model is kick start magneto ignition.

I’m usually not a fan of the aftermarket carburetors, but heck at that price point I would give it a shot. Just boggles my mind how something like a carburetor can be manufactured and sold for $13.00 and I’m sure there is still a hefty profit in it for them. In the U.S. we have a hard time manufacturing  a gum ball for less than that and make a profit.
