Look here, this is getting out of hand and I don't know what you're getting upset about.
The fact is, someone has asked here on this forum before if anyone knew an equivalent carb for this bike:
www.kzrider.com/forum/3-carburetor/59860...z200-carburetor-help
There are other examples on the internet as well, so my question about Chinese equivalents isn't so outlandish.
Incidentally, I've never bought a Chinese carb before, but there are thousands available on Ebay. So
someone must be buying them. What does that say about their character? Honestly, ask yourself whether they care...
Fact is, I don't know Nessism and I don't know you. People like me solve problems and get things done - we have a different type of brain. You see yourself and him like wizened old Swiss watchmakers or something. Myself, I see a guy who tried to establish himself as an authority on a subject by writing about something. Nothing wrong with that, mind. But the fact is, people like me are fast and direct. Occasionally it may trample on someone's feelings, and I regret that. However, you've got to realise, for someone like me, it doesn't have to be about bikes. It can be anything at all, even computer related, or legal matters. I look up a manual, cross-reference my information, look at a blow-up diagram if available, maybe watch a video or two and ask a question in a relevant forum, such as this one. Then - BOOM. Problem gets fixed - no apprenticeship, no time served in real life or an internet forum, no nerdy opus written on the subject.
Do you honestly think this is a huge hiccup and I won't fix this minor issue?
All I note is that nobody here has a tip of their own for removing a stuck float pin, and nobody here knows about equivalent carb swaps for this carb. Who cares what anyone memorised about the difference between PW and PWK, for example, when I could find out by going to Keihin's site? You see what I mean?
Well, even if you don't, I guess I'll have to find a way to live with the fact that you don't respect me. Come on, I thought you guys valued your toughness and thick-skinnedness. Carburettors are yesterday's tech. People with brains and from the real world can pick up every resource on them and turn your whole life into their hobby. Don't get mad at me for telling the truth. Search my previous posts here - I was polite and respectful and got everything I needed out of you lot. Never forget why it was technical school/metalworking and not university for you.
